    so....anybody who wants to enter the contest, PLEASE take this idea:
    take your sewing machine and shove it off a table. or throw it across a room, or something that will utterly decimate it. video yourself doing it, and at the end be like "well....i kinda dont have a sewing machine anymore, so...can ya pick mine please?" and send it in.
    it's a sure winner XD

    It would be better if you put some type of padding into the straps of the backpack.

  • You can spend ...

    You can spend anywhere from $150-$4,000 for a sewing machine. If you're just starting out, it's probably a good idea to look in the $300 zone. Not too fancy, not too cheap.

    i really like what you do but not everyone has the skills and time as you do, brand names arent the end of the world, but EVERYONE should have at least one custom item

  • Well I think ...

    Well I think they're talking about using an old suit that might not be worth much money. For example, you can get an old jacket at a thrift store and make a bag out of it for cheap!

    It's okay, you don't get it. That much is obvious.
