Drum bag (for bodhràn) made to measure

Irish dance

This bag was designed and sewn to fit my bodhrán exactly. The exterior is made from cream tartan fabric, while the interior contrasts in red tartan. For strength and stability, the whole structure is fully lined with soft material and reinforced with a layer of felt paper.

A matching shoulder strap is attached with two fabric tabs, and the zipper opens almost completely around the front, making it easy to slide the drum in and out. Inside, a red accessory pouch with two compartments and its own zipper keeps tippers and small items organized.

A front-end developer by profession, she also holds a degree in archaeology and has worked for more than a decade in museums and on archaeological digs.
Her main crafting passions are lucet cordmaking (on which she is conducting historical research), embroidery and string art, though she enjoys experimenting with new techniques. She excels at tasks requiring patience and precision, particularly careful refinishing, cleaning, and perfecting fine details.
She is the author of The Lucet Compendium: a historical exploration and practical guide, co-written with Daniel C. Phelps.
For several years she has been researching the history of antique sewing machines, beginning with Singer. She created a searchable database of Singer serial numbers and has since focused on reconstructing as much information as possible about individual machines. Her goal is for a serial number to reveal not only the date and factory of manufacture, but also details such as decoration sets and available manuals.
She is also an Irish dancer and shares this passion with her husband : they first met through their dance academy.
