- How to make a "Rolly-Polly" style dump pouch. I saw one of these online & thought it'd be a pretty handy item for shooting, agate hunting, hiking, etc. Lots of uses, really, and such a clever design.
Follow along as I make mine out of 1050 D Ballistic nylon in Coyote Tan with my new Consew 206-RB5 industrial sewing machine (which I hadn't sewn on prior to this video!). - Спорт
So many small tips here and there, very informative video ! Thanks !
Thanks! I'm glad to know it's helpful! :)
I was pessimistic at the start, but skipped to the end and saw the finished product… wow nice work very impressed thanks for making the video
Thanks for watching (or at least skimming 😉 )!
Holy crap. Hair pins. That's a perfect compliment to the binder clips I've been using.
Absolutely! Less fiddly and super cheap, too! I do use binder clips sometimes to _really_ securely anchor an end of a run or something but for just general "pinning" the bobby pins are great. Thanks for watching! :)
Nice 👍 good job thankyou sweetheart
Thanks for watching!
Your welcome
damn, I love tactica sewing tutorials, too bad there are too few
Great work...😃👍
Thank you! :)
Nice job. Lots of tips there. Thank you.
Thank you! :)
Beautiful project...
Thanks! I hope the video was helpful if you decide to make one! 😀
New to gear sewing- and sewing in general- thanks for taking the time to post and host this video- I realize I found this vid 2 years later- but Bravo my dear and looking forward to more! Subscribed!
Awesome! Welcome to the wonderful world of custom stuff! Good luck on your gear-making journey & thanks for watching! :)
Awesome! Loved the vid
Excellent video, it helped me a lot. Greetings from Argentina
Nice well done 👍
Thanks! :)
Excellent my friend. I'll do it here. Thanks.
That's awesome well done
Thank you so much! :) I appreciate that!
Thanks for the pointers on the sewing. The needle positioning and other pointers completely changed my sewing and my projects have improved 500% thanks a lot for taking the time and pointing out things that are helpful.
Oh yay! I’m SO happy to hear that!! I always wonder if I should edit out the tips because they can be kind of long winded, so I’m really glad to know they’re helpful.
Comments like yours really help me to make better content! Thanks! :)
@@EndlessDIY this video was one of those "wow" moments for me. Thanks again ... and I really enjoy all of your videos. You have a great presentation and such a nice calm and sincere manner. Have a great day and I will be checking out your videos.
@@EndlessDIY please don't edit the tips! Lol, they're very helpful. You can't beat experience.
@@elconquistador932 Thank you! I'm really glad to know that they're helpful & not just boring! lol!
@@EndlessDIY i do have a few questions as far as types of materials and where I can source. Things like the webbing and velcro being all the same color as the 1050d. I would like to order some materials and put my Sailrite to use. Ive made a few simple things for our live aboard sailboat like winch covers and other basic items. Thanks !
Definitely got to try one of these. Thanks for the tutorial!
They're worth the effort. Super handy item! Thanks for watching! :)
Good tutorial thanks. Wish there were more carpenter belt/ pouch tutorials but I guess men are afraid to sew lol
Excelente contenido gracias por compartir saludos
That is a really cool project, thank you so much for sharing it! Really clever how it folds up, I can’t wait to make my own now, might make a couple as gifts for friends too 😊 Like the badges on the chest rig by the way 👍🏻
Thanks! You're right, they make great gifts! Especially for those who like to collect stuff outdoors like agates or shells (brass or otherwise). I made the punisher patch & the sewing tank one, I found online. :)
Excellent pack nice job. Super nice sewing machine
Thanks! :) I LOVE that Consew machine, it's great! Here's another video for more gear made using the Consew. ua-cam.com/video/A7a5xY1BOcw/v-deo.html
Nice Pouch!
Thank you! :)
Thankyou for a great tutorial, followed your tips and made myself a combat dump pouch for my web belt (the sewing isnt as good as yours but its strong and functional). Saved me a chunk of money for something I just drop mags into (from the UK)
do another chest rig! this was an amazing video. looking into trying to make own gear as well
Thanks for the inspiration! I may make another just as a how to. Stay tuned! :)
Great idea!
@@EndlessDIY Definitely do a chest rig how to!!
@@AZDesertExplorer I've been extremely busy with work but when I get time, I will. Hopefully soon! I believe I've already got all the materials. 👍🏻
Here's the chest rig video! :) ua-cam.com/video/A7a5xY1BOcw/v-deo.html
Excellent 👍 👍 👍
Thanks! :)
this is great
Thank you!
Sailrite's 1 inch swing away binder attachment works well on that machine, I also have a Consew 206RB-5. Don't buy a knock-off binder from Ebay, they are junk, ask me how I know. Just get the Sailrite one and you will thank me. Makes binding work like you are showing a breeze.
The Sailrite binder is great. I had one on my LS1 when I sold it. I've been meaning to buy another. I don't do a ton of binding work but they sure are nice when you need them!
Great Video! What type of sewing machine would you recommend to make pouches, rigs, ect? (Newer user)
Thanks! I've had several different types from household, to "heavy duty" household, to semi-industrial (Sailrite LS1) and finally my Consew 206RB-5 that you see in this video. The household ones had no chance with this kind of material & neither did the "Heavy Duty" Singer. The Sailrite had plenty of power for it, but there just wasn't enough foot lift to accommodate layers of heavy material like the ballistic nylon in this video. I made the chest rig you see on the table at the beginning of the video using the Sailrite and it was a huge struggle because of the lift.
The Consew has a TON of power and plenty of lift to fit several layers. The only issue it had was that even with the servo motor, it sewed too fast for precise areas. I solved that problem by designing and 3D printing a custom pulley to reduce the speed and now it's a perfect machine for me. I love it. You can also buy a reduced speed pulley but I had a hard time finding the correct one & finally gave up and made my own. lol or the smaller belt needed, I bought the right size at Napa instead of paying (and guessing) for a Consew belt.
I had about $900 into the Sailrite and thankfully recovered almost all of it when I sold it. I scored the Consew for $700 in like-new condition which was a total score. Your needs may vary, but I'm super happy with it for all my heavy material needs.
Hope that helps & thanks for the question! :)
Greetings and really enjoyed the video! What needle & thread combo are you using. I have been trying to sew on hook & loop to some pouches on 1000D Cordura as well as 8oz Cotton Duck Canvas. I have been having a terrible time with my top thread shredding & fraying apart. Read up on it and just keep getting the generic answer of “bigger needle and go slow”. Currently using #69 bonded nylon through a 135x17 #20 needle in a straight stitch walking foot machine. Any sage advice would be welcome!!!!
I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner! I used V-69 polyester thread and a #20 needle on this pouch. I've not sewn with nylon thread so I can't say which is better, but I haven't had any issues at all with the Polyester. The only time I had a total nightmare was when I was using a household machine. In fact, sewing velcro is the thing that made me jump up to the Consew industrial machine (which I absolutely LOVE). It's amazing how much grief Velcro can cause! lol!
Thanks for watching! :)
When i use #69 bonded nylon i use size 16 or 18 neddle. More or less than that will give you issues with fraying/breaking thread.
Maybe this will help!
When putting on the binding, why not use bias tape on the 45 degree corners? Seems like it would make the process easier.
This is a super great project, and so many uses. I really like your new machine, I’m researching industrials since I have home machines that are said to be “heavy duty”, but since I make backpacks and purses and of course now going to make dump pouches, I might want to buy myself an industrial. Did you compare other machines. For example Juki and others like that. Just curious before jumping in. You’re 100% correct those are big girl machines. Thank you
I went kind of the same route as you. I have a regular household machine, then I bought a Singer "Heavy Duty" machine (which was a fail), then I bought a SailRite Ultrafeed LS1 which was a fantastic machine, but it didn't have the foot lift I needed for multiple layers of heavy material like this 1050 D ballistic nylon. After some more research, I was torn between a Juki and my Consew 206RB5. I chose the Consew because it seemed to be more heavy-duty than the Jukis in my price range, it has the ability to sew very slowly (with the servo motor and a reduced pulley I made) and I found one locally for a very fair price. I absolutely LOVE the Consew. I love the knee lift, the ease of maintenance, the layout, etc., and I'm pretty sure it'd sew 2 bricks together if you could fit them under the foot! lol!
Endless DIY so glad I asked you. Thanks so much, your reply answered all of the questions I have and I now know I want the industrial AND going to look into getting the one that you have. I like the 2 bricks comment. I’m done breaking needles of all kinds. Thanks again.
@@bonbonmonel9571 Glad I could help! Good luck! :)
@@EndlessDIY can i ask why the singer hd was a “fail”?
@@collk88 Great question. The Singer HD didn't impress me. I bought one and it was defective right out of the box so I exchanged it and that one was also defective. That left a pretty poor impression on me. One issue is that the machine is light and when you're sewing heavier material it wants to scoot. It was a tad heavier than my light-duty household machine, but I just didn't feel like it was burly enough to do any legit "heavy-duty" sewing. The foot lift was low and the motor felt lugged. I guess, just all around I didn't care for the machine.
Awesome! is the chest rig homemade too?
Hi there, yep, it is! :) Thanks for watching!

Greetings, I was wondering why you have a piece of leather under your presser foot, when not in use. Great videos, thanks for sharing..
Hi there! I just stick it under there to protect the foot and the plate from getting marred up. I'm sure it's not necessary but when I transported the machine, I put it under there & it's just become a habit. Thanks for the question! :)
Where did you get the sewing tank patch on the chest rig?👍
Isn't that a great patch?! I love mine! I got it here: zulunylongear.com/patch.html
Hi! I would like to get into DIY for my tactical gear, wich sewing machine do you suggest to buy or what feature to look for? Thank you!
That's kind of a tough question. It really depends on the type of things you want to make. I love my Consew 206rb-5 machine but there are many other industrial machines out there. Personally, the most important things in an industrial machine are a walking foot, a knee lift, a servo motor, and the ability for it to sew very slowly. I made a small pulley for my Consew and bought a short automotive fan belt to fit so I could sew slower than the servo motor's slowest speed. That's an important thing for me because I sew a lot of little velcro tabs on & stuff and the machine can really get away from you if it's too fast. Also, the foot lift height was important to me because I sew heavy materials which get thick quick!
Hope that helps!
Wondering if you do any custom orders? I can provide material in designated pattern. Interested in mag pouches and one of those dump pouches! Seriously!
I haven't but shoot me an email. You can find the address on my channel's "About" page. 👍🏻Thanks!
Would you recommend getting a Sailrite or just get an industrial machine?
Honestly, it really depends. The Sailrite is a fantastic machine; it's portable (you can even use it without electricity), it's strong, well built, durable, simple and just an all around legit, portable machine. A true industrial is much bigger so you need dedicated space, it can practically sew bricks together, it has a nice high foot lift , it has a knee lift (biggie) and it's simple to self-service.
For me, personally, I'd go industrial if you've got the space (and money). Between the two, the only con of the industrial is the space needed but it really makes up for that with the advantages. If you're limited on space and don't really intend on sewing THICK layers, the Sailrite might be a better choice.
I'm sure that sounds kinda wishy-washy but it's truly such a subjective question.
I hope that helps; at least a little!

What kind of thread are you using and is the chest rig for you?
🇧🇷🇧🇷
How many passes of sewing do you use for the molle? I hear three passes is supposed to be as strong as bartacking.
Good question! I do 3-4 passes, generally.
@@EndlessDIY thank you. I’m trying to start my own tactical gear business and finding the I formation for this stuff is like trying to gather intel on the Chinese or something equivalent.
@@globalmilitarycollections4591 I bet that's true! Check out my video on how to make a chest rig. You might find a lot of helpful info there, too! Good luck with your venture! :)
what binding webbing did u use?! i only find thick ones
The binding is actually called Grosgrain. You should be able to field mil-spec grosgrain on ebay (that's where I bought mine). Hope that helps! :)
Try the leather tape from WAWAK
Where do you order your nylon?
I bought it on ebay from a seller called Greatfabricdeals. www.ebay.com/usr/greatfabricdeals
You can find it on Amazon, too, and other "mil-spec" suppliers.
i'm totally NEW how thin is it? can you PLEASE send me the correct size and name or a link so i can find it 4:40 very much appreciate it
How do I backstitch if my machine doesn't have the feature? My sewing machine is from 1918.
Firstly, it's _awesome_ that your 1918 machine is still in service! As far as I know, the only way to backstitch on a machine without reverse is to spin your work. Drop the needle, lift the foot, and spin the work. Do a few stitches and spin it again & continue your seam.
Definitely slower but you should be able to get it done.
Yes can you show how to do the chest rig
I was just getting the materials ready the other day so I think I'll be making one very soon. Thanks for your interest & the suggestion! :)
Here's the video on the chest rig! :) ua-cam.com/video/A7a5xY1BOcw/v-deo.html
Can you make a cold steel battle star case?
I'm sorry, I don't know what that is.
I listen Billy Squier
Good selection! :)
La luz está muy baja mejore la por favor
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll try to light the area better. It’s just difficult in a limited space without getting shadows.
I am not understanding the missed step part. Almost to the end😢
Sorry about that. It's just a piece of corresponding velcro that you sew on the back wall INSIDE the bag so the flap can stick to it when the bag is open. It keeps the flap from flopping around when the bag is open. Does that make sense?
@@EndlessDIY yes makes sense! Thank you for the clarification and thank you very much for the videos!
@@cs7285 You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
That's basting tape, not bias tape
Nice well done 👍
Thanks! :)
