Making a Custom Motorcycle Jacket (with Crafts with Ellen) 

Thanks!!

Or add a straw! hahaha

Not sure about a 3D printer but in a way they are additive manufacturing machines sort of, a human being feeds one or more pieces of cloth into the machine and combined with thread that is provided by the human but used by the machine outcomes some product that is a combination of cloth and thread and stitches and perhaps a few other products that is able to serve some useful purpose that it wasn't able to individually as parts

@GardenFork - I have a friend that is self taught on the sewing machine. She's freaking amazing. She's in the process of getting ready to start her own channel for upcycling fabrics of all types and sizes into amazing things. People are coming out of the woodwork to give her things because they know she's working on stuff and they don't want to throw it in the trash or wasted so they're just giving it to her for stockpile. It's just getting insane, but she is amazing and she'll figure out what to do with it all. I agree the sewing machine is a powerful tool. I can't say that I wish I knew how cuz I've got my own ball-o-wax to deal with but they are very, very, clever tools.

Yeah, it’s Christian-he is awesome

Sorry, right thumb under the cloth and left on it...

She kind of have to wear a knife - guns are illegal in Germany.

Thats a good idea but she needs some protective pants or some kevlar leggings to go with the jacket.

Why? Oh, wait, you said letterman not leatherman, it's a joke! I didn't get it at first.

@@PatrickPoet tks, I corrected the spelling. If you ride a motorcycle and fall such a tool can get into your body or seriously damage your skin. That's why you should wear pads and get away from hard and sharp metal stuff around you

@@samuelf.5244 I would have guessed it would just flip away, it's just clipped on. I've ridden motorcycles all my life including experiences going down at speed. When folded up there's no pointy bits at all. It's just a flat rectangle of metal with a clip.

@@PatrickPoet it was just an observation, people can do what they will. I wish you the best

@@samuelf.5244 I had some hard pointy bits (keys & keychain) in a front jeans pocket when I totaled my first bike. They just tore a hole out of my jeans and I found them on the roadside. I agree it's a risk, though there's a lot of risk on a motorcycle already. I don't think this adds a whole lot of extra problems.

Yes, safety first, and I wonder if that jacket would hold up in a slide. In May I was hit by a driver and my gear saved my life. I would leave protection to the professionals because they have been doing it for a long time. I would also pay whatever it costs for quality gear now that I see what it can actually do to protect your head and body.

@@autumngreenleaf3390 so true! ATGATT for me as well, especially after being ran off the road by a car. This jacket won't stand any sort of fall though. The protective elements will just be ripped out when the outer shell gets shredded. Looks cool though!

@@dominiquebertin921 If you slide you want something that will hold up to that, which is sold now. If you are hit and fly off the bike like I was, everywhere the protective elements are, they will protect you.

@@autumngreenleaf3390 i did both, eventhough i had decent elbow protection it still was the size of a melon and i cracked some ribs. Could have been way worse though.

@@dominiquebertin921 Hope you're doing well now. Sounds like a brutal event. Mine too. It was horrific. Still recovering at this point. And yes, thank God it was not worse.

Yes! She is a great teacher!

I'm okay with that ;)
