sewing a cover for a bagpipe
No, I did not attent the New Hampshire Highland Games in September. However, on the last day of the games, Gibson Bagpipes held a raffle for a set of bagpipes, and since it was fully possible to purchase raffle tickets online, quite a few of the tickets had my name on them.
While up on the roof, installing new metal roofing, I received the phone call:
"you won the bagpipes!"
Me: awesome! Can I get the pipes setup for a left-hander?
Gibson: yes, but we won't be able to get a left-handed bag cover
Me: no problem.
A few weeks later, the pipes arrived, and it was time to get crackin on the bag cover. The help of a local crafty seamstress was needed for the procurement of fabric. Although it is possible to simply go shopping at a fabric store, it is far more fun to get friends in on the bag cover excitement; and lets face it, bag pipe covers are increadibly exciting. :)
Two different fabrics were scored that day. Blue and Red. I used the red fabric.
Hella sick ripping!
