I was complaining to my wife about how the dang barrel sleeve I bought a week ago is too tight for my barrel. She took a look at it and said "Heck I can make you another one." (She just happens to be an artist behind the sewing machine. :clap:

So I got to thinking " I wonder how many AO-ers would be interested in a custom barrel sleeve?"

Here are the first three fabrics she pulled out of the drawer to use!

She can make barrel sleeves out of just about any fabric and her sewing machine even does some embroidery, so if you wanted one with your name or team name she could do that too!

Maybe we could even make an official AO one...

Anyway the back will be an elastic cord and the tip that covers the barrel will be reinforced just like regular ones.

She's going to make me one today so i'll put a pic of it up too.

I made one a while back that holds 3-4 barrels using an old black t-shirt and just sewing a couple of straight lines with my wifes machine. Took about 10 minutes once she set the machine up for me.

I misunderstood. What I made was for putting barrels in when you werent using them. That's pretty cool. I gotta ask though, why did your wife have flaming nekkid lady fabric laying around??

Hrm, I could use a custom one made to fit over the fat pump handle on my SL68II.

I'm seeing more and more reasons to stop by on the 14th.

I completely over looked the nekkidness at first glance. Thank you for pointing it out!
