Alright RBTR with covid keeping a lot of us home you should expand your MYOG videos and give us more projects! Like the hip belt pouch kit or the flat zippered pouch kit, or even masks!
Great project. Some people may or may not know-- if you lay down a seam like you did at around 2:09, if you set your machine to throw a little bit of a longer stitch, it won't pucker the material so much. Thanks for posting this one. I must try it.
All of this series are fantastic tutorials, I for one really appreciate you taking the time to show us how to use the kits and teaching us new techniques. Thanks!
I just put two medium bags together this weekend. Really fun project! I would lone to see you come out with a large bag kit. The medium didn’t quite fit my EE quilt. It will fit my down jacket and spare clothes though!
DUDE, Love your stuff! Between you and Dutchware I've made so much gear. From your fantastic fabrics I've made a tarp for my hammock (1.1 oz Silpoly 2nd Gen - Coyote Brown) and a 11' hammock (1.6 oz HyperD XL - Dark Brown) Tiedowns for my Kayaks (1" Polyester webbing 3000 lb), tent exit mats, and now a couple zip pouches from some extra material ( bases on your ZPP Kit). One thing I would like to know is what size material makes what size bag? My first ones will be bases on your 14"x14" size piece. What size material would I need (and zipper length) for a 12"w x 8"D X 8" high pack? My motorcycle wants a pack for it's rear rack :). Ideally a spreadsheet. The 8x8 is pretty straight forward 32" (zipper compensates for the seam. but the 12" width throws me.
@@Maddonkeys I just made 4 of the little dry bags with Dyneema. I didn't change the needle from whatever I had on there from my previous project. I think it was an 80/12 or could've been a 90/12. It's super easy to sew through. Didn't change any settings, either, just used a std 2.5mm stitch lenght, except for when I did the topstitching, where I changed it to 3.0mm.
On sewing the reinforcement in you say not to go off the webbing. you sew the top and bottom ok fine. Then jump to to doing the buckles. The roll hem on the plain side is magically stitched tip and bottom . I'm guessing you stitch this separately to the reinforcement???? With lock stitches both ends as close to the webbing as possible
I was also frustrated by that omission, but with a background in sewing clothing, I think I know what he did/meant here. You shouldn’t let your stitching slip off the rolled hem into the body of the bag at this point. This would create extra holes in the bag and also leave a gap in your hem. You should sew each line of stitching across the top hem in a complete circle, lock stitching as you start and again in the same spot as you finish the circle. First you do the bottom edge as he shows you, which keeps the hem in place, then press it all nice and flat with your finger and do the line at the very top edge to keep it flat. The holes created by stitching the top seams will be rolled over a few times, protected by the lower portion of the bag, so that should keep any water out. Hope that makes sense. Also, I’m just noticing your comment is from a year ago...lol
I'm curious as to why you wouldn't use a 'Box X' stitch instead of manually creating that pattern. A 'Box X' allows for one continuous stitch instead of all the stop and starts.
DCF® has a relatively low melting point so we do not recommend that you hold it close to a heat source. We carry a 1" DCF® repair tape and that is the best stuff for sure! ripstopbytheroll.com/products/1-cuben-fiber-repair-tape
about a year late, but. I use COATS outdoor thread. It is nice and thick and easy to find at a Joann Fabrics. They have a few color choices too. I'm placing an order for the Gutermann MARA 70 thread or 50 thread, and is always good when you can order from RBTR and get it in time. But, so far the Coats has been great for my hammocks and bags. Hope this helps!
Dyneema Composite Fabrics would be a good call for this type of application. However, I would recommend something a bit heavier like 2.92 or 5.0 oz for the abrasion resistance that they offer. You will also need to use a more inherently durable and waterproof seam like a flat-felled seam.
Although I really appreciate your question, those of us that check UA-cam comments don't really have that info. If we did, then we wouldn't be tracking UA-cam comments. What types of things are you making these days?
@@RipstopbytheRoll Thanks for your response! Apologies for my question as I genuinely was just curious how much that fabric costed. I am unsure as to what you meant by tracking UA-cam comments? I was looking to create a bag with the Dyneema fabric.

As someone who sews clothes. This is a really good tutorial. Very good instruction and great job breaking down steps. Thanks
Thanks Deborah! We are planning to get more of these videos up in the future.
Great tutorial, I'm making 2 waterproof pannier bags for my Son's bike. Every bit of information and knowledge is appreciated. Thank you.

fold that bottom seam up before laying the tape , other wise it will be very weak. Folding it creates a flat felled seam.
Thanks, very well explained.

Made this without th kit and it turned out pretty good. Little rough round the edges but just getting into sewing and getting used to the machine.
You made it look very easy, maybe you need to video me for a how not to video 😂
Muchas gracias

Did you ever get a response?

Hi there, I'm wondering about thread and needle recommendation for this project?
A size 10-12 needle would work fine with Gutermann MARA 70 thread!
Thanks for the tutorial! What is the reference of your sewing machine ?
Hi! We have an article for you :)

The tutorial was for a beginner. Single steps are easier.
What kind of sealing tape is it ?
Is it not good idea to use an iron to seal for DCF ?

What kind of thread and needle do you recommend using?
We use Gütterman 100% polyester thread (pick fun colors to spruce up your bag!) and a #11 needle on our Singer machine :)
