All of our patterning is done here on site, and is done to your requirements.
The cutting machine is not for the faint hearted! A very sharp knife goes up and down very fast, hence the protective chainmail glove! A Proper Pair of Scissors is used for single items – 13” monsters!
We have a number of sewing machines, including Rattling Bess – she’ll sew through virtually anything and won’t break needles! She’s just a bit noisy..... Bonded nylon thread. You can use it as dental floss – it won’t snap!!
All seams are fully taped for a totally waterproof seal. Different tapes are used for each different fabric – for the PU coated nylon it’s basically more PU which is melted onto the seam and sticks to itself, thereby sealing it against incoming moisture. In the case of the 8oz Neoprene coated nylon, and the 3-layer laminate, it is a fabric tape, with glue on one side which is heated and adheres to the back of the fabric making it waterproof.
