I have everything I need to start my project

Sewing machine, shears, hog ring pliers and hog rings, thread, , two yards of period correct ( sawtooth) fabric, three yards of cow hide pattern black vinyl, 17 yards of black welting.

Total cost $570.

Ok, almost everything. Still need some heavy needles and a big table. I can borrow the table, and the needles shouldn't be much.

If I don't run into any big problems, this project should come in about $300 under the $1000 estimate.
