Instant gratification

Elena ``of Valhalla'' at

In the last few days I spent my sewing time on a complex project that — of course — was having issues, so today I decided to take a break and go for instant gratification and a couple of quick project.

A ticket bag with magnets closure, to be worn on the same lanyard as a badge to prevent the issue of people being called "on site meals" .

This involved sewing tiny (~2mm ⌀) magnets on slipperynesssilicone coated fabric, because instant gratification is one thing, but making it too easy wouldn't be masochistic enough.

A simple drawstring backpack. I'm not completely happy about the ends of the drawstring channels, so when I make another one I may change them a bit.

Both are made in cheap, relatively light (90g/sqm) silnylon, and thus at least water resistant (I didn't seal the seams to make them completely waterproof).

I took pictures and notes, so full instructions will be posted on my website... sometime...

What's that about? 😕

Apparently many people at Debconf this year were called "on site meals".


Or rather, their badge holders had turned around or something similar, and they were showing their meal cards instead of the badge.

Ah, I see. Thanks!
