So with the production of the Rite of Mercury this last fall, I picked up a set of spade bits to use while building props and sets, and didn't have a good place to store them, so I kept them in the original plastic shrink packaging. Not ideal, but ok for the time being.

As I spent even more time on the sewing machine for the production as well, I ended up deciding to take an old pair of jeans and fashion a roll-up case for them. I put the jeans aside, made mental note of the design, and figured I'd get to it eventually.

Well, the spade bits and the jeans have sat around in the way for.. what.. 5 months now..

Today, in my efforts to continue to clean up and organize, I opted to break out the sewing machine and whip out my little carry case.

I cut a strip that I hemmed and used as the top layer, and then took a whole leg of the jeans, split it open, and attached the strip at various intervals to make pockets for the shafts of the spade bits. The flaps fold back over the tops of the bits with the reinforced jean hems acting as reinforcement for the sharp points of the bits, and the whole thing rolls right up.

Seems to work rather well. I just need to fashion a tie for it, but overall, I am pleased.

Time spent? About a movie's length. Elizabethtown to be exact. Cute movie, though kinda strange.
