I tend to use nylon pouches for a ton of things (tool bag, camera, EDC pouch, folding knife pouch, glasses carrier on backpack, add-ons for Molle attachments, etc).
I am getting tired of searching for dimensions and modifying what I have, and even paying a lot for some simple designs or finding that a design I like is discontinued. I don't want leather for pouches that see a lot of rain (like the pouches on my motorcycle backpack).
I had two main questions:
1. What inexpensive sewing machine would someone recommend for this (what stitches does it need to have programmed). It would be nice if I could also use it to alter my inexpensive dress shirts for a better fit too.
2. Are there any local chain stores that might carry the heavier Cordura fabric? It would be nice to see and hold it before purchase, which I can't do if I purchase online.
