Howdy.
As I still have the homebrew obsession, I'm allowing it to lead me into many a DIY projects. Other than the labels (still working on the woodcut for that), I decided to try my hands at carboy covers.
I'm probably one of the only chicks on here, but I don't care - a lot of you have wives (GroosBrewz's made him some, and helped me out with advice - thanks again!), so maybe they can make em for you.
Here it is:
All I did was cut out a piece of brown corduroy to be about 36 x 24 in. Sewed a straight seam up the length, making it about 34.5 inches (as the carboy I'm using is 34 in. in diameter), then made a pocket along the top and the bottom and pushed elastic thru each (less elastic in the top and just bunched it more), sewed those up and then VOILA! Done.
I was thinking about making a pocket for a note card, but... I'm lazy. We can just safety pin the info to the cover.
Ok, I'm back at it - got 4 more to do!
Update: TWO!!!
