messenger bag enhancement
Here are a couple of JPEGS showing an embroidery I had done on the flap of my messenger bag. The first one is a close up of the embroidery. The second one is a full view of the same. I got the image from a decal from lofi customs which makes t-shirts with OLDSKOOL TRACK logos. I had it done at a local t-shirt printing shop that also does embroidery. They did a digital scan of the art work that I provided, and then converted it onto a program for their embroidery machine. The whole thing cost 30 bucks and could probably be done at home if somebody you know has one of the newer computerized sewing machines that accept digital data and can output from that. Not that it makes the bag any better but I have been using the bag more and more and thought I would like to personalize it.
Now I can bring along the kitchen sink in stylish comfort on rides.

I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine! How did you get the pic? Did you write low-fi and ask them if they could use it? I notice that you can't right-click save-as on their site...

With a name like "jzawodny" it does not suprise me that you don't understand the meaning of the Irish curse.

I've always wanted this, but I can't find anyone who'll make a big patch out of it... maybe I'll just do what FGH did and have someone sew it on...
