So I went to CB's today

My wife is quite awsome with a sewing machine. She has made all sorts of stuff in the past and friends and neighboors have brought her complicated stuff like prom dresses and gowns for last minute alterations after a professional has screwed it up. She even made my daughters prom dress from scratch. I figure that a bimini (which I also need a new one of) would be no sweat. Except she has no interest in doing it.

With the prices these guys charge she could make a small fortune just doing side jobs I would think. I wonder if I could find a used heavy duty sewing machine on ebay and try making one myself. When she see's what a pathetic attempt I was making she probably couldn't help herself and would take over. Or maybe not, anything boat related is a sore point. Well, maybe I could get my money back for the machine on ebay?
