patched up a hole in my backpack

kept trying to get the patch stitches going radially outward instead of at an angle but 🤷

very cute fix, is that a red camo ripstop you used? What / where's it from? 

[u/algebruuhhh → u/thiccvicx]

yes i believe so (i'm not entirely sure how to identify ripstop from other fabrics), and it's from a pair of shorts i thrifted from good will. sorry if you were looking for a place to purchase online!

No worries, I was just wondering. The idea in ripstop is that it has some stronger threads interwoven in order to stop rips (i know, duh), while keeping the bulk of the fabric lighter. This one has a square grid pattern, others have diamond shapes.

Rip stop was originally for parachutes. My generation 'had' to have le sac brand made from it in the 80s 🤭🖖
