Bicycles and sewing go together like Peanut butter and Jelly?

The other evening Mrs. Drum was nice enough to show us here at Drum the basics of sewing machine usage.  Now we wouldn't say we KNOW how to sew after a few days of piddling around with the sew machine,  but this new skill opens a world of making our own bicycle and life accessories!  Or possibly our own line of Drum bicycle apparel.  No more depending on others, we're going DIY!   Unfortunately it is all too easy to believe that perhaps there will be a few set backs on the road to world domination. For instance, the card wallet/pocket we made this morn' was a bit... ill conceived.  It worked, but bound for years of use it was not.  So perhaps we'll take it slow and see how it goes before we start thinking were the next Vaya or Gucci.
