In this Instructable I will be showing my steps for modifying a small military bag that I got
off of http://www.sciplus.com/
For this little project I was mainly interested in getting more acquainted with the textiles
equipment that we have at TechShop . I made three modifications: added a handle to the
top of the bag, straps to wear it like a back pack, and a clip to attach my mini skateboard.
Things used:
Basic sewing machine
Industrial Walking Foot
Hand Press
Awl
Airbrush (acrylic paint)
Cotton Belting
Upholstery thread
Rivets
Side Lock Straps
Rectangular Rings

Signing UpStep 1: Paint Cotton Belting
So at the fabric store I found some plain white cotton belting, which does not really go
with the drab military theme of the bag. Therefore my first step was to paint the belting.
I grabbed some of my acrylic paints and one of the airbrushes from TechShop and got
to work. I just thinned down the paint with some water and started mixing away with different
colors to create a sort of mish mash camo effect.
