OMG! You need to absolutely keep it! Whether it's true or not, this is special to you. People create packages, packages do not create people. Rock it girl, salute kislux !
With this video and some tutorials online I was able to make my own custom frame bag and it turned out pretty decent. Thank you for the in depth tutorial!
It doesn't matter where they are made. It depends on artisans and quality inspection. My family and I have bought 2 kislux bags in the past 3 years and I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Excellent video! I'm a beginner with the sewing machine but your clear instructions made me confident I could manage a project like this. The bag is now done and fit perfectly on my bike. Looks great and I can't wait to try it out for real! :) Thanks!!
Excellent work Steven and thank you for making such a thorough video. I'm planning to make my own frame bag for the first time when I stumbled upon your video while doing research. I love your design and hope to give it a go myself :)
I'm just making my pattern and I wonder 1) how far down from the top you placed each zipper; 2) how wide is your velcro for inside divider. Thanks so much. I've looked at a lot of patterns and liked yours the best. The divider is simple and looks like it will work; the ladder stitched strap around the outside is such a simple effective solution.
@@wendyostlind465 top zip is 5cm down from top and the lower one about half way down may be a tad more. For the Velcro use 5cm wide hook and loop. The aim of the Velcro is to prevent the frame bag from bulging . Hope it goes well. Happy adventures.
Thanks Steve. A really clear video which makes bag construction seem achievable for those of us not confident with sewing. For clarity, is the tape Ventura or Venture?
I am totally new to this. This is NOT a criticism, but a real question: How waterproof will this bag be? Do you seal the seams? As I understand it, the stitching along the long peripheral part can't be sealed, b/c there is webbing outside and velcro inside. And since that part is horizontal, I'm picturing water from the top tube pooling on top of the bag and soaking through that stitching into the interior. I don't have any real perspective on if this could happen or how much it matters. I come from a mostly dry area where I simply don't do outdoorsy stuff in the rain. But I'm planning on doing bike touring in some fairly rainy places. I'm imagining my bike and gear possibly being exposed to hours of heavy rain. Would this bag keep everything dry? Again, not being snarky or anything, just trying to get a perspective on how effective this technology (stitching through x-pac, unsealed) works. Thanks for your video. It's definitely got me thinking about a DIY approach.
@@Jeff-si7ni the fabric is waterproof the seams are water resistant. Unless you fall in a river or you have hours of very hard rain there isn't ever a problem. However I do make sure all important stuff is secure in a ziplock bag or equivalent. my belief is that a fully waterproof bag isn't fully waterproof after a few outings. Even if the seams were waterproof I would take the same precautions. Thanks for the question. Steve
Fantastic video! I have a quick question: Could you please share the weight of the fabric used? I've noticed there are different types of X-Pac fabric available online, with weights ranging from approximately 100 g/m2 to nearly 400 g/m2...
It's called Ventura glue which is a sticky back tape. Mostly useful when stitching the zip. For that 4mm is perfect. I can always post some if you can't find any on line.
Hi, i am doing something wrong, when i mark my notches and cut a panel when i am doing a turn, the outside of the panel that is cut is now 2 cm longer and my notches don't align. Do you take that into consideration when you mark your notches?
@@zamocno both pieces of material should have a seem line drawn with a seem allowance of about 10mm. The seem lines should stay on top of each other the whole time. The notches should always line up. Some inaccuracies can occur on bends. You will need to cut slits along the edges of bends and corners to allow the seem lines to stay on top of each other. If you don't then subsequent notches will not line up. If this is confusing send me a photo of your problem areas and I might be able to help.

Super thorough video which answered all of the questions bumping around my head. The addition of Althea really made this the perfect tutorial!!!
When it started playing I thought my Bluetooth speaker had started! Came out of nowhere. One of my favourite dead songs lol

Thanks for sharing your work Steve! Great work and a gorgeous frame bag!
A very nice explanation of how to make one, but may leave it up to yourself and other pros to make mine. Thanks.
I loved your video, well explained, I'm going to put it into practice, I'm going to make a framebag for my road bike, cheers from Mexico👍
I'm so pleased it inspired you to have a go yourself. Look forward to seeing the end result.
Steve
You did this so clean.
Well done video! I like the idea of using webbing to keep its form from the inside and the attachment versatility from the outside.

Just realized that my Apidura bags are from the same material. Seems to be X-Pac VX21 at 205 g/m2

Sorry for the delayed response. This is the weight for most bag applications.

Great video thanks. I am a bit unclear when you say you “glue” pieces together, is that using the tape? Where do you get that?
It's called Ventura glue which is a sticky back tape. Mostly useful when stitching the zip. For that 4mm is perfect. I can always post some if you can't find any on line.
Sorry correction. It's Venture 3M tape
Thanks Steve! I couldn’t find Ventura and my search didn’t pick up Venture. Got it now ta.
