I wound up taking some beauty shots of grandma’s sewing machine. I am shocked at how good of condition the wiring is in. Either the service center that worked on it did a wiring job.. at some point… or they used some mighty fine wire back in the day.
Edit: I don't think it's been re-wired; the bakelite plug looks original.

Un aggiornamento sul mio #cucito
Lo zaino è finito e l'ho usato un po' di volte, e sono decisamente soddisfatta. Devo finire di scrivere le istruzioni da pubblicare sul mio sito e poi il post sul blog.
Oggi è il patrono della città dove ha sede l'azienda per cui lavoro, e quindi ho deciso di lavorare un po' sull'altro zaino.
Già , perché avevo tagliato la stoffa per un altro zaino, questa volta da cucire a macchina, e ne ho più o meno bisogno (o quantomeno mi farebbe molto piacere averlo) entro una scadenza, per cui avere un giorno libero in cui liberare lo spazio per la macchina da cucire e iniziare a fare qualche cucitura è stato decisamente comodo.
È la parte davanti della mia idea originale di zaino a due componenti ispirato ad uno zaino dell'IKEA, iniziato tempo fa quando ho fatto quello documentato su sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/…
Alla fine la base era venuta grande abbastanza anche da sola, ma volevo comunque vedere se l'idea poteva funzionare, e comunque ho cose che posso fare con uno zaino più piccolo.
L'obiettivo minimo per oggi era cucire i fianchi con la cerniera, e quello è fatto.
A bit of a #sewing update.
The backpack is finished and has been used a few times, and I'm quite happy with it. I'm still writing the instructions to publish on my website, and then I'll post on the blog.
Today it's the patron saint of the city of the place I work for, and in Italy it's a holiday (even if I don't live anywhere near that :) ) so I decided to work on the other backpack.
Yep, because I had already cut the fabric for another backpack, this time to be sewn by machine, and I sort of need it (or rather would like to have it) for a deadline, so having a free day to free up the room for the sewing machine and actually doing some sewing was pretty useful.
This is the front component of my original idea for a two part backpack, inspired by an IKEA model, that started ages ago with the base component documented at sewing-patterns.trueelena.org/…
The base ended up being big enough on its own, but I still wanted to see if the idea was viable, and I have uses for a small backpack anyway.
The basic aim for today was to sew the sides with the zipper, and that's done.
Bags are done, waxed, and on the bike. This was an attempt at a removable bottom bag used for the water bladder I shared previously.
The top bag is secured via elastic cord and the two bags interface via interleaving webbing, through which I've got a piece of lightweight wood acting as the binder.
The bottom bag has 3D printed supports on the seat tube and down tube. Each consists of two pieces glued to the inside and outside of the bag.
