I did do some prototyping for some ammunition-bags for the llenn Cosplay yesterday.

My first idea did not really pan out as I wanted (I guess PU-Leather does slip too much on the feed dogs making very uneven seams.

So normal seems it is.

I have sewn the body of the pouch it was not really stable. Then I did add some top-stitching for some good looks.

I opened one seam of the pouch again. Did the top-stitch on 3 corners and it dawned on me. How can I do the 4 and last edge? I obviously need to assemble the 3D-shape of the bag again and top-stitching is added after that.

No chance getting into a normal sewing machine. Asking on reddit. No chance of getting that on a normal machine. I would need an upholstery-machine for that I was told.

Btw those are super cool you can rotate the needle so it can sew sideways lol.

So only hand-sewing left for me here. But the bags look nice already. I hate hand-sewing so much

@stefan looking better than my seams though :D

@kadse Those are all machine stitched lol

@stefan I'm aware, my point still stands :D

@kadse I need to do some more practice for that bottom-part though. But thats why doing practice pieces is a good idea most the time.

Other than that... My machine stitch is not super straight here but good enough. I love me some top-stitching for sure.

In this case not only looking good (the white/pink contrast is lovely) but also gives the bag a bit of shape. Hand-sewing will kinda suck though
