Got a wild hair today and talked the wife into sewing up my windsock bodies today. Then after that I hand sewed in the plastic circle in the front to allow the air to go into the sock. Then I put duct tape on the inside of them and cut a small slice through the sock where the duct tape is. Next I put the dowels(which I ran out of) through the sock. Now all that is left is to spray paint the x on them. Painted one today so I could take the pics.


Here is the body sewed up with the plastic ring sewed in also.




Here is the body with the dowel installed.



Here is the finished product. Nothing fancy but some cheap decoys and some good motion. Anything is better than those texas rags!!!

I am going to make as many as I can. The hand sewing sucks. I know the pics are huge but on the iowa site it has a resizer guess it doesn't on this site.
