[pct-l] Stitching with Down

[chelin at teleport.com (Sharon & Chuck Chelin)]

Good afternoon, Mike,

I recommend you look at the Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics, Inc. web page on
Making Your Own Gear at http://www.backpacking.net/makegear.html
On the menu list under "Sleeping" projects select Item #4 Down Quilt by
Jeremy Padgett (Hungry Howie).  I think he has very practical guidance on
how to sew and stuff a down-filled item.  Besides, what other good reason do
you have to pitch your tent in the living room?

Enjoy....
