I think you should respond to all the people justly criticizing your video. I saw you asked one person what was wrong with the video but didn’t reply to them after they told you. Multiple people have mentioned the incorrect zipper technique shown but not one reply to them about it.. I’m glad I read the comments
Curtis Linden your comment is pretty unfair too. It’s nearly impossible to stay on top of the number of comments I get, especially with them not coming through as notifications. That said, having rewatched several times paying close attention to my instructions and confirming directly with Kyle from Ripstop By The Roll, my instructions here are correct when using a water proof zipper.
I’m sorry you felt my comment was unfair - I was just hoping to hear back about that particular matter since there was a lot of questions about it. I myself wondered if it was the correct way and checked all of the comments hoping to see you addressed it. I was just asking for myself and the rest of the commenters who didn’t get a reply due to lack of notifications. Thanks for addressing it. But I guess there is just a perspective difference from someone who is trying to learn versus the teacher making the video. I wasn’t the only confused one, for what it’s worth to you as a means to improve your videos. I appreciate them! Thanks
@BackcountryExposure I just got this kit and I also noticed that he zipper instructions at 2:21-2:38 says to have the zipper with the teeth down to the backside of the fabric yet when sewing at 3:19 the zipper is flipped over from what you said at 2:21. Your comment to @curtislinden9297 is what is unfair and you need to rewatch exactly what I & others have pointed because your video is not correct as pointed out by many others in the comments. I am just glad that I noticed the zipper was flipped or I would have sewn it backwards like many others did and pointed it out in the comments but you keep standing by the fact you are correct in comments when clearly your did flip them. It also has nothing to do with you sewing with the zipper down either and us confusing the instructions. When sewing you can clearly see the shiny waterproof side of the zipper is facing up against the backside of the fabric which is facing down and on top.. I do a lot of sewing and noticed the zipper orientation was incorrect at 2:21. You can even see at 3:55 that the original zipper orientation you described at 2:21 should have been shinny waterproof side down against the FRONTSIDE of the fabric as even mentioned & visible at 4:23. Any basic Zipper tutorial will tell you to place the zipper outside down on the good side of the fabric then when you flip the fabric for the finished edge hem it is correct.@ripstopbytheroll you need to clarify these instructions because many people in the comments followed these & sewed the zipper on backwards. Above I have explicitly pointed out the issues & the timestamps supporting the discussion that the zipper was flipped & instructed to be on the wrong side of the fabric. I appreciate the video but what I respect more is admitting the video is incorrect so people don't sew the pouch wrong. If I could attache photos I would show you exactly how the zipper should be placed using a printed Dynema kit so the front & backside of the fabric are very clear.
don’t forget to use a flame to prevent nylon strapping and ribbon from unraveling. finishing the edges really makes these professional! well done. when boxing corners, i like to measure x”s in from corner, just like you, and then draw line parallel to zipper by aligning ruler wither zipper.
To those who didn't see the material order change (like myself), and sewed the zippers on the wrong side (both shiny sides up, teeth facing in): Just tightly fold over the zipper so the shiny side is touching the dull side of the material, and sew the length of it. Then, you can roll it back and hem as he describes at 3:50.
Yeah I just got “done” and realized that my zipper is on the wrong side of the fabric. Kind of upsetting that he made sure to show us what side was up at the beginning and then flip it without saying anything. Now my kit is wrong. My fault I guess for not watching closer.
@@travissteele837 not your fault @ 2:21 he says to put the zipper one way and then at 3:03 the zipper is flipped over. He should have said put the zipper waterproof side down on the outside surface of the fabric.
That's very impressive. I have done a little sewing on a quilt and mods on a backpack, never tried anything like that. Thanks for sharing the steps, that bag came out great !
Your “important steps” at the beginning are incorrect. You end up showing the correct zipper fabric side when sewing, but not when you instruct at the beginning.
I was making my own stuff sacks like this over 40 years ago. Use my mother's SEWING machine that was set up next to the bench I used to pine tar my skis. Those were the day.
Excellent directions, I've made a couple but not so clean. I just ordered a couple zippers from Kyle and I'll be making a couple more after watching this.
Thanks for the video..I think you are instructing the wrong side down though. If you follow these instructions your folded/second stitch for the zipper will have the hemmed side on the inside. I believe you need to have the right side up with the shiny/waterproof facing right side (so right sides together) with teeth facing in as you describe. Then when you sew the second line of stitching the right side is outside and the shiny side is up. right?
Sharklish San Jose start with right side (non coated) down and the coated side up. Teeth of zipper down and facing in. This makes it face the teeth of the zipper out and the second stitch hem away from the zipper teeth or on the non teeth side of the zipper. That way when you attach the zipper pull and turn the bag right side out it’s all in the right spot.
The beginning is confusing because the talk about the "very important zipper orientation" is made while the zipper is *above* the the fabric, making the viewer (me, at any rate) think that that's how it should be assembled. But at ~ 3 minutes in, you'll see the zipper is *under* the fabric. That is the correct way to sew everything together--zipper orientation as described, fabric orientation as described, but layered so that the fabric is on top. That took a while to sort out; I can sympathize with frustrated viewers who were getting it wrong, and with Devin for wondering why people were confused. For total newbies like me, making these demonstrations using a patterned fabric that has a distinct front/reverse side would be awesome. Aside from that, very helpful video--thanks so much for putting it together!
@@BackcountryExposure i don't know, looking at the video at 3:50 it appears to show the correct side of the fabric with the zipper sewn on with the teeth up. trying it myself according to the instructions doesn't work.
The instructions seem right to me. I think you all are getting mixed up just because he flips "both" upside down to sew it, but if you set it up like he says it will come out the right way. he has the orientation right between the zipper and the fabric, you just need to pay a little better attention
Yeah Sharklish is correct, this video instructs incorrectly. I followed the video and it came out backwards. Might want to rework the video with words overlaid
Nice sewing skills! Not only impressed by that but honestly I know how hard it is to film things like these. How long do they take you from beginning to end now?
Tim Watson if i am totally ready with everything prepped then it’s about 30 minutes per bag. Thanks Tim! It’s a lot of work to film how to videos. Ha ha
If you double fold the edges wont it make this bag more reliable to be waterproof instead of just relying on the stitching? And what type of sewing line is used?
Still didn't feel the comments were clear. Place the zipper right sides together with the fabric (outside of fabric against coated side of zipper) with teeth facing middle of fabric. Sew. Fold and sew again.
What type of zipper foot did you use, i know brand models are different, but it appears to be different types of zipper foots, ie top load or hidden etc...
For a long time I used a cheaper machine that did just fine for simple stuff. A good polyester thread is what you'll want to use too. I now sew on a Juki 8700h industrial machine.
Great job. You got skills. I don’t really understand why they would give double zippers pulls with the kit though. What kind of sewing machine do you use?
Tom Henderson they don’t, i should have mentioned that. They give you two single reverse pulls. I only had double pulls for this. I’m using a Bernette b35
Let's say I wanted to make it a much deeper bag and wanted to attach a bottom made of more durable material. How would I sew the bottom on? For example the way jansport backpacks have a leather bottom.
Sew a smaller piece down the middle. If the whole project is 14 x 14 sew a piece down the center say 8 x 14. That's about 3 inches away from each zipper half. Basically mark down the center of the 14 x 14 piece And down the center of the 8 x 14 piece, line em up and sew the 8 x 14 piece on the outside. Then sew along with the rest of the tutorial.
I am just getting into modifying some of my gear and have a question about thread. Is there a good source to help me choose the right type of threads for different items like tent nylon, thicker backpack nylon, webbing and straps??
OK, so I had to watch another guy’s video to understand how the zipper and fabric are oriented for sewing. This guy makes it VERY confusing by placing the zipper on top of the shiny side while talking about the zipper orientation. The suddenly the zipper is under the material and he’s sewing. I useful step would have been to say.. The shiny side of the zipper should be facing the Outside of the fabric. The correct way to sew zippers is to put the zipper under the material. So before you sew, the teeth (dull side) of the zipper should be down. The Shiny side of the zipper (outside) should be up and touching the dull side of the fabric (the outside). The shiny side of the fabric should be facing up. That is for the firs stitch. A clear demonstration of the fold back before the second stitch would have been helpful. Truly, if the zipper orientation is the hardest part as the BE says, then there should be a bit more time and simple steps spent on it. This is not a great instructional video.
OMFG you REALLY REALLY need to reshoot this and reexplain the zipper positioning. I get that it seems right in your head. But you *never* actually say that the zipper goes *under* the fabric in the orientation you describe. Worse yet, you *show* the zipper *on top* of the fabric while you are saying it. I had to read through the comments here and then rewatch the stitching and pause as it comes out to see that indeed you're sewing it right sides together. That's just really bad, and obviously lots of people are doing it wrong, including me. Now to go rip this stupid stitch and start over...
The zipper instructions were not intuitive the way described. I ultimately just said screw it and did it as shown. Could have used a verbal direction to sew the zipper under the material with the wrong side facing up. Otherwise good video.
***READ THIS FIRST, THE FIRST STEP IS UNCLEAR*** He says with the wrong side up you place the zipper facing down and teeth toward the center of the fabric. But when he sews you'll notice its wrong side up (as he said) but the teeth are underneath the fabric. He forgot to say that the zipper does in fact face teeth down and inward but you place it UNDERNEATH the fabric, not on top. I, like many others, assumed he placed the zipper on top as he shows in the video and then flipped his assembly over for sewing. He doesn't, the zipper goes underneath instead of on top. @Backcountry Exposure this might not be confusing to you or RBTR but as a new sewer it's unclear. Please annotate your video everything else about your tutorial is great.
Is anyone else running into the issue where the needles breaks EVERY TIME when you go backwards to reinforce the tabs over the zipper?? What am I doing wrong??
Jay Martin you start with the smooth side up first which is the coated side. That way when you roll the fabric over to do your second line of stitching the hex side is showing.
Your “very important” part of the instructions are wrong. If you follow the way you state it ends up with the zipper with non waterproof side on the exterior.
That's exactly what has happened to me! I was trying to figure out why my zipper is NOT the same as his after he said "Zipper side down"!! When he comes back with doing the hem the zipper is UP!! Frustrating.
I watched the video carefully and what is not clear is the fact that the zipper is supposed to slid UNDER the edge of the fabric not laid on top of it. At least I think that is the problem people are encountering.
"Shiny side" and "wrong side" describe the coated side of the fabric. For zippers to work properly they have to be sewn face to face. Teeth up, against the edge, with the face of the fabric facing up. Shiny side up is wrong and when you get further on in the video it's possible to see that you didn't follow your advice either. Please remake and re-upload this video with revised zipper facing instructions. You may think what you say represents what you did, but along with several other commenters, I was mislead into punching a bunch of holes in fragile fabric only to find they wont even get to hold thread because I had to rip everything out and figure it out for myself. Your video is worse than unhelpful, it's destructive. Please do better
Tim Pierce good golly! When using a uretek water proof zipper that has the teeth of the zipper facing the inside the finished bag, you have to do things opposite of what you would do if you were using a standard zipper. I’ve gone back and watched this several times and even confirmed with Kyle from RSBTR that what I instruct here is correct.
@@BackcountryExposure The original instructions on how to attach the first zipper side are backwards. If you follow what the video says, the non-waterproof side will be outwards instead of the waterproof side. You should either upload a new video or make it very clear to the people watching that the instructions are wrong.
Backcountry Exposure I think it is unclear to people that the zipper should be slid under the fabric prior to sewing and not laid on top of the fabric.

If I were sew savvy I'd say one could modify the dimensions to the point of making an entire pack compartment.
What was the overall finished dimensions?
How do you make the zipper pulls with the drawcord?
waken66 overhand knot at the ends and then looked through (girth hitch) on the pull.

thanks for this, cleared my head right up on the disconnect between the layout scene and the sewing scene - after I ripped out my first go at it
I’m a sewer and I thought I noticed that too. I just shook it off but I’m glad I’m not crazy.
what are the dimensions?
Is anyone else running into the issue where the needles breaks EVERY TIME when you go backwards to reinforce the tabs over the zipper?? What am I doing wrong??
Probably too lightweight a needle
And go slooow. Even use the hand wheel to let the needle slide around the zipper teeth instead of going through them.
