    For webbing I use Strapworks or Sailrite. Rockywoods has a good selection of fabrics and Mil-spec Monkey has lots of hardware.

    Any guesses on this sewing machine?

    I have a Domestic rotary 153 which is the same machine with a different badge. Bobbins are readily available. Kenmore also made a similar rotary that uses the same accessories. Its a very strong machine from the late 40's - early 50's. it is a straight stich with reverse. I love mine.

    LOL! If you have a tread injector it wouldn't be hard to sew in side seams. It would be like a pull over vest. it would probably save you from being hassled by local law enforcement. LOL!
