Getting ready for the season




It all started with a couple naked tree stand seats. After years and years of service (and abuse) (and squirrel nibbling) the old seat fabric had ripped the year prior. They needed a bit of attention.







So out came my (wife's) trusty sewing machine. What? you say this is a hunting blog? Huh, go figure. What's with that?












A bit of new material to start with.















And a touch of thread. You know, the heavy stuff. 'Cuz I'm a hunter.







Little bit of cutting, little bit of sewing, and some crooked edges (yeah, this is for hunting not for the prom folks. Neatness counts ... against!












And soon they're done and ready to go. Oh, and an extra one for Grits 'cuz his ripped too. Just don't tell him, it's a secret!












So it's back to the naked stands.













Where they look almost like new. Too bad I'm so lazy that they ain't in the trees yet. Only about a month late, but who's counting? Happy hunting.
