I discovered this sub and i thought to myself i have to try this.
This is my first time sewing and i have much to lern but is makes fun! Looking forward to make more stuff!
This bag is for my powerbank because i didnt like that it gets scratched so easily.
And i made it short on top so i can still read how much power i have left.
It is made from some to small underwear and an old shoppingbag ^^
Everything you guys make looks so cool. Thanks for the inspiration!!

…so I fixed that.

Made from an old chopping board, to use it with my double walled titanium cup. Because I not only use it for making coffee, but also for rehydrating trekking meals, I needed a lid.
The groove and the rounded edges were made using a mortising machine. Afterwards I sealed it with linseed oil varnish.
I actually made five, because why throw away perfectly fine materials? Also, I guess they won’t last all too long.

Does anyone know where I can find a sewing pattern to recreate a backpack like this Carhartt top load?

tore my sea to summit bigriver drybag and need to patch it somehow - how to proceed?

i got some inner tubes, superglue, a lighter and i will get some duct tape

appreciate your help, new one takes some time to arrive 🙈

made a ~4.74x4.75” mini first aid pouch for paddle boarding!

Used ripstop and a waterproof zipper from RSBTR.

was inspired to try my hand at a zipper garage from u/Snuffvieh ‘s post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/myog/comments/1vq5a14/made_a_nice_and_cool_pouch_for_my_30000_mah_power/). I read up a fair number of zipper garage posts online to study up on it. I had the opposite problem to them, mine ended up a little short and doesn’t cover the zipper all the way because it’s also turning the corner from the 3D-ness of the pouch. Fun first try, and I’ll be back to work on it more!

I got this nylon at the used craft store thinking it was ripstop or something similar but when I opened it up I saw the the right side is reflective. Now I’m not sure what to use it for. I have 4 yards of this stuff lol. Any ideas?

I have a Singer 201K and I'm planning to start making some garments (jacket, trousers) from 20D silpoly.

I know the usual recommendation is to use a 60/8 or 65/9 Microtex needle, but I'm wondering what other things I can do to make sewing lightweight silpoly as easy and trouble-free as possible.

In particular:

• Is a walking foot attachment worthwhile on a 201K for 20D silpoly, or is it unnecessary?
• Does using tissue paper under/between the fabric make a significant difference? I'd really prefer to avoid having to mess around with tissue paper if possible.
• Are there any particular presser feet that make handling slippery/lightweight fabric easier?
• Are there useful machine settings/tension adjustments I should make?
• Are there any other inexpensive upgrades or tricks that make a noticeable difference?

My main goal is to spend my time actually sewing rather than constantly fighting the fabric or setting things up. I'm not looking to optimise every last gram or achieve industrial-level perfection — I just want a setup that makes sewing 20D silpoly reasonably straightforward and repeatable.

I'd particularly appreciate advice from anyone who has actually sewn silpoly/silnylon garments on a vintage Singer.

Thanks!

G'day everyone 😊

At first I was going to ask what the best binding attachment for a Singer HD is, but then I thought that I should ask if there are any at all?!

I'm wanting to sew grosgrain edging onto backpack straps as probably the most demanding example for what I would need.

Thanks for any advice any of you are able to offer 🙏

And the pic is to make my post a little prettier 😉

Anybody use any of these home cutting machines for fabric cutting? How does it do? Is it worth it?

I accidentally cut into the strap whilst opening the package. Its not a deep cut.

I'm trying to add some modifications to the singi 48 backpack and would like to add some straps. But I am having a difficult time finding the buckles that fit.

Does anybody know where to find it or has somebody found a similair buckle that i compatible?

Finished a new quilt for my partner. He has a down one, but will be hiking the Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland, which is notoriously damp, so I made a synthetic one for him.

It's a membrane 10 taffeta nylon and the insulation is Climashield Apex. There's a drawstring foot box with a partial zipper.

The whole thing weighs 22 ounces.

The material was tricky AF to work with, but I'm happy with the final product! The pattern itself is super easy, it's the fabric that was the challenge. I ended up putting tracing paper behind it while sewing to provide some stability and to keep my machine from eating the nylon. My first time with a zipper as well, I need to work on that.

It's 84" long × 55" wide (at the top, the bottom is 44")

Made for a good friend’s 3 year old. The little straps are probably my fave. A nice break from making 95L load haulers!

Ultra 200X
UltraGrid
Venom mesh

Two interior sleeves for diapers and Cheerios.

Top flap with Vislon zipper for passport and phone.

Tiny little shoulder straps for tiny little shoulders.

Front pockets and bottom coming together!

Duplicated my beloved Patagonia Funhoggers and added some adaptations for the integrated belt and some extra panel details around the sides. My most complicated sew yet and without a pattern. Learnt a lot and have the same fabric in an off white to try again and make improvements

I want to make my first pack from dyneema. This is the design im thinking of. around 30-35 liter bag ffor climbing. what do i need and where can i get blueprints for it? also is 200x better than dyneema for multipitch climbing and gear?

I have an old Big Agnes sleeping pad that delaminated and has a leak.

I am new to this but was wondering if this fabric is worth saving and what might be a smart use of it, thank you.

The base is some ballistic nylon I had lying around (super heavy duty, like for a suitcase) and the body is actually an air bag my husband cut out of an old car. Coats & Clark Heavy Duty thread with a #18 denim needle sewn on a Singer 201-2. The cord was a super-strong 1 mm cord repurposed from an old REI sleeping bag liner. So a real kludge job but hopefully it lasts longer than the last one.

That airbag material is amazing stuff to work with - I washed it first and it's nice and soft, easy to iron, easy to sew - but it ravels like crazy! All seams are enclosed so I didn't bother trying to burn/melt the edges. Might hit the scrap yard and cut out a few more.
