I have tried to find someone local.... No go. If you know someone that has the equipment and skills that would do a custom order for me please PM me. I want to get two made to my exact specs with materials i will purchase and send. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Big buck slayer can find big bucks, but can't find a shop to sew a sling? Just kidding Dave. There are canvas shops everywhere making covers for equipment, to sails for boats. Heck a small shoe repair shop would have a machine that would go right through your straps with ease. Head to church and ask around, lots of ladies with good sewing machines.

Dave here's a option for you, 1950 Singer 15-91 I picked up on eBay for $155. It's a big investment but after years of needing to sew through tough material i pulled the trigger. Lots of YouTube videos about it made my mind up. From all your projects you seem to be a do-it yourself kinda guy. Few test I've done so far is 3 layers of type 13 webbing, 4 layers of seatbelt type webbing, and 8 layers of denim. Any questions let me know.

Lmao! I didn't either.. I read the manual. Couple hours playing around with scrap pieces.
Good to go!
