Seeing this thread resonates well with me as making "gear" is what started me on the whole vintage sewing machine journey started back in Sept. I wanted to make holster pouches for women that will fit women but my modern machine I had at the time wasn't able to do it. She has since been rehomed to my mother who just loves her. I am glad to say I now have about fifteen machines I am keeping in my collection and most will get the job done.

My husband is a left handed shooter - and he also has high checkbones and rarely finds a stock pad that he likes, and he really needs one to shoot comfortably. He's one of those "slap him until he stops using the left hand" kids, so he eats and writes with his right hand. He is left eye dominate, and his Grandpa taught him how to shoot and didn't care which way he held the gun.
BTW - the one in the picture was for me, so it's right handed.
I kept telling him it was OK for him to use my machine, but he wasn't happy until he had his own.
Yesterday he made himself a cell phone holder - he's getting pretty good at this. He says he has no interest in quilting, however he did buy himself a walking foot so he could have better results when he's stitching two layers of fabric with padding in between . . .
