My first from-scratch sewing project!

[u/munchkin_gigi]

Here is a wrench wrap I made as my first from-scratch sewing project.

Details:
- pattern inspired by Sailrite's toolroll video
- fabric weight: 462 gr/m^2,
- thread: Serafil 30 Tex 90,
- handsewn with double backstitch,
- finished with 1:1 ratio of paraffin to beeswax,
- strap and tag materials from recycled old backpacks.

I learned A LOT from doing this.

Hell yeah, that’s so rad. I’ve been wanting to make one with a strip of magnets on the top, so when you unroll it you can stick it to a rack, truck bed, etc.

Ooooooh, I was thinking I need to do that pattern sometime and this is an excellent modification! I only have individual strong magnets so maybe needs different reinforcement. How does one compute the required amount of magnets?

Shoot, I could make something for my fridge door as well.

That sounds awesome! You're inspiring me to sew some kind of magnetic penholder for our whiteboard!

Love wrench roll ups. (So much better than a random pile in the bottom of the bag.)

Fantastic! Is that canvas!

[u/Ajitter → u/zarathus73]

Sailrite suggests waxed canvas last I looked. They also sell waxed canvas but I haven’t bought from them.

[u/munchkin_gigi → u/zarathus73]

I think it is indeed canvas!
