Twiz Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 My dad taught me to take care of what I've got. So, I decided to make a dust cover for my Vox AC4TV. I learned a couple things from the experience... 1) I suck at sewing. 2) I don't ever want to make another amp dust cover again. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hey, I'd say you did well regardless... And yeah, it ain't easy. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hey, you got it done. I own a sewing machine and actually use it to tweak a lot of my clothes, for instance I shorten all of my jeans pockets, I hate my phone ending in the middle of my thigh.

gdecantoo Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Actually looks like a nice fit . It could'nt have been that bad though as i don't see any blood stains from all the pin pricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It looks way better than I thought it would reading your description before scrolling down to see the finished pic. I'd say our seamstress skills are at least average. Most importantly it looks like it will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hey nothing wrong with that at all and it sure looks like it will work just fine. Any sewing without blood loss is a success in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Good job... I got an idea for you though. if you not happy with the looks of it, use it as the liner. Now you can make a cover that's all purty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellen Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 looks pretty cool Got this cool custom made leather cover with my Marshall Bluesbreaker combo, good thing to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 That's not all that bad esp. for first time job. You could always flip the folds that are around the handle to the inside and re-stitch to finish that even better. I took my hand at sewing years back with making a down parka & vest. Made several coats & vests and still have them even. Turned out really nice. Use to sew up stuff sacks & bags for my camping/backpacking days too when I was a Scoutmaster for 10 yrs. and had a Boy Scout troop. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyBillyBob1 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Looks great! Maybe you'll want to take the next step and embroider the front with the Vox logo. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R.M.30! Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Pretty good job indeed! I tried to make an amp cover but gave up and bought one online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Good Job! Sewing builds character. It's difficult and men don't do it unless of course they need to sew a button back on, put on a patch or mend a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to make stage cloths would be an incredible asset to a fledgling band with no backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
