- Deep dive sewalong of the LearnMYOG Porter Duffle. This video accompanies the latest sewing pattern for Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) enthusiasts. Porter Duffle is an expedition-style “do everything” bag for one-bag travel whether going by road, rail or air. With its massive U-shaped zipper that folds fully open, packing and accessing your gear has never been easier. No matter how you pack - individual packing cubes, ranger rolls, or just toss it all in - Porter Duffle has your back. Add an internal mesh lid pocket for socks and smalls for just the right amount of organization. Backpack-quality shoulder straps are removable for checking on airlines and are fully padded for long treks to your hotel. In two popular sizes, choose the Porter that's right for you. Porter 35 is sized to fit US airline carry-on restrictions and suitable for a 3-4 day trip. Porter 45 is highly versatile for weeklong trips (or more!) or for gear storage at home.

One of the best MYOG videos I have seen. Lots of hints, tips, tricks of the trade on how to put it all together
I have been making gear for almost fifty years (anyone remember Frost Line, kits?) and after watching this I had several palm slap to forehead moments.
Much appreciated. Unfortunately I missed out on the Frostline Kits but have researched them a lot as I enjoy going through the vintage catalogs and seeing how they illustrated their patterns! It would be so much fun to provide modern kits and thankfully we have by yard sources for the same fabrics used by the big brands.
kislux versace bag is so cute
I've been doing simple zippered pouches, box pouches and packing cubes to learn some functional sewing but have been reluctant to go any deeper. This project looks super functional and your tutorial has given me the courage to give it a try. Thanks for the clear instructions!
In some ways the bigger projects are easier to sew. Small pouches can be tough in their own right. They are great practice to develop skill, precision, and momentum for larger projects like the Porter Duffle. You got this!
Love the tip for pre-bending the zipper by pulling the thread by hand. I’ve seen that done on a commercial bag but couldn’t figure out how to do it with my machine… so clever and simple!
On another note, is a walking foot better for binding? Does it make the process easier and does it give a better finish?
That is awesome that you made this.
First video I've seen from you and im super impressed. Amazing resources here. Will be saving this for a future project
Thanks for being such a great resource to the MYOG community, Tim! Immediately bought the pattern and added the DIAS shorts to the cart before check out. I can't wait to follow along with this vid and make my own Porter!
Appreciate the kind words and thanks for purchasing the patterns!
I've just completed my Porter 35 build. Thanks, Tim, for another great pattern and for this sew-along video. Some aspects of its construction were pushing me to the limits of my current skill, but, with your help, I got through it!
I wanted to share a couple of tips that I found helped me through a couple of areas that were particularly challenging for me, in case they are helpful to others as well.
My first attempt at the lid assembly wouldn't lay flat. It was probably close enough, but I decided to remake it to be sure. On the second attempt I used LID as a template and clipped the LID FACING assembly to it to ensure it held its shape as I pinned on the zipper. I used the same technique while basting on the LID POCKET assembly. I used blue painter's tape for that basting, BTW, and it worked pretty well.
When I attached SIDE for the first time, I used a lot of clips, but still ended up with more extra material to ease in at the end that I would have like and ended up seam ripping several inches and trying again. The second time around I machine basted at a few key alignment points before sewing the seam. That helped quite a bit and the result was much better.
Thanks again for the pattern and the support. I'm looking forward to taking my Porter on its first trip soon!
Hi Greg, thanks for your feedback and tips. Using the paper pattern as a layout guide is a creative solution! It was great following along with your build on Instagram and seeing it come together. Cheers!
Such an indepth video! Thank you, having it broken down bit by bit was really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very handsome! Love the sewalong vids
Glad you like them!
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome, I’d love to see some packing cube patterns that would fit in these as well
That would be great to have custom sized packing cubes to match 🎉
Thank you so much for this video, Tim - it must have taken you ages! And thank you for all you do in the MYOG space. I’ve made your U lid bag and am about to start this one. I have cut out the fabric - you’re not wrong about gridstop dyneema killing scissors! - and will start sewing shortly.
If I may ask you a question, do you think a bias attachment is worthwhile? I see cheap ones and expensive ones advertised. Are the cheap ones destined to cause frustration and not worth it, or are the expensive ones overpriced? Thanks again!
Thanks for the kind words. Having a machine set up with a right angle binder like I show in the video is a huge productivity boost and luxury. Folders and other attachments are worth it IMO but get annoying to swap out. Sailrite swing away binder is a neat idea but it’s only a straight seam binder. My setup uses a special foot and feed dog that match the binder. It was ~$40 IIRC. I imagine you get what you pay for. The really cheap ones I have that were ~$13 are basically junk.
Love the video! where did you purchase the mesh?
Bought it years ago. Possibly from Seattle Fabrics. But not sure. I gave recommendations in the pattern for alternatives if I recall correctly
Качественный контент и материалы, подробное объяснение.
Where did you get that printed xpac? It’s really cool!
Ripstop by the Roll
Do you ever run sales on your patterns? Looking at getting this when I get a bit better!
Almost never. Usually only to people who join release waitlists for bundle discounts. You can get a discount by submitting photos of premium patterns at my gallery subpage. (See webpage footer)
How wide is the grosgrain ribbon for edging that you use?
3/4” (20mm)
Sorry to bother you, but what Juki do you use?
