- DropTop and Bearbait here to create some more gear with you!
Today we are sewing an ultralight zipper pouch (I’m talkin’ super ultralight at .5 oz) made from a fantastic material called Dyneema. Dyneema, previously known as cuben fiber, is an extremely useful niche material that is ultralight, puncture resistant, and waterproof. It does have some drawbacks, though, and one of them is that it’s very expensive and not readily available. So why not take matters into your own hands and make your own personalized gear for a fraction of the cost and wait time? Let’s make one together! RIGHT NOW!
The kit we used is from Ripstop By The Roll, a super maker-friendly company. We are not affiliated with them, but we would love to share the link for this top notch, all-inclusive kit:

We are using the Large Olive Drab option.

Happy hiking!

"Were going to go very slowly because we don't want to scare the dyneema" omg im dying. Great video!!
Best not to pin a water resistant bag like this or you have to seal each of those pins holes at the end.. also DCF is usually matte side out ;-)
Such talent! You can also use this information for making pouches that all purpose. Go, girl, go.
How do you only have three videos? You are a natural!
Clear and concise and enjoyable. I won;t be making those bags anytime soon though. Just not into sewing, but Thank you.
I'm lost already. Lol But what a sweetheart. Calming voice. Love hiking women. Wish I had the patience to make my own gear.
Thank you so much, Marc! Give it a shot... You may love it :)
Great guide. Your tips will be invaluable when I start my own bags.
This is way better than rsbtr's own video.
Very thankful for this guide! Thank you for the tips and thorough instructions!
Thank you so much for watching!
Nice tutorial. It’s a great supplement to the total lack of instructions provide by RBR with the kit. I was surprised that the kit did not include any single sided PST to waterproof the stitching. Without that, messy liquid seam sealer must be applied or this will not be waterproof. I bough two kits to put on my fishing boat for guests to drop their phone/wallet into. The loop are great cause with a light carabiner in them the bags can be secured. Thanks for taking the time to post this tutorial. Much appreciated.
Hey Rachie! You got some mad sewing skills!!! 👊 Great job!!!
Thank you!
You rock i have ton to learn .Awsome mad skills.
You prolly already heard hun but all those bags are sewn inside out 🙃. Matte side of the composite is traditionally on the outside. Regardless, thanks for the tutorial!
She addressed this at the beginning of the video, mentioning that for smaller projects they like to make them shiny side out as they look better.
What happens if you scare the Dyneema? Never thought of that.
How much would you charge for that bag(labor and materials) if ever you want it as a business? What size is that?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What thread are you using on a project like this?
is there a particular thread that is recommended to sew with for dyneema? or would basic polyester be fine
People use DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric) because of it's lightness...Polyester is much heavier that DCF, and consequently it's much cheaper than DCF...Another popular fabric for bag making ultralight bags and pouches is rip-stop Nylon...It's half the weight of Polyester fabric and while not quite as light as DCF, it's gets much closer to it than Polyester and it's also relatively cheap. Nylon is Hydroscopic though (it absorbs water) so to waterproof it needs to be coated with a special silicon sealer spray, which then forms another fabric known as Sil-Nylon...
Nice job! Do you save any $ making things yourself? If so how much? Or is it just for fun?
Depending on the project, it can save $20-$30 per bag! You can also create something that fits your needs perfectly versus a mass produced product you have to make work. It is also a lot of fun!
You save couple of dollars on kits, which is good for learning, but if buy material and supplies in bulk you do save substantially. Plus if you don't have any sewing equipment that also can be costly. I was given a sewing machine and a cutting pad. I bought miscellaneous items it still cost me $100 give or take $25. After while it will pay for it self.
HELLO RACHIE I LOVE HOW YOU SEW AND YOUR SO PATIENT I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO MAKE A FEW PIECES FOR ME IF YOUR NOT BUSY. I LOVE LONG FLOOR LENGTH MAXI DRESSES LONG SLEEVES I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF SOME DRESSES I WOULD LIKE MADE ....
How would one add belt loops so it can go on a backpack hip belt???
You could just add them to one side of the fabric after you sew the zipper in. You would need to measure for your top fold over first how far from the top the zipper is) and stitch it on at that position. For the loops, use Grosgrain ribbon just like she used for the pull tabs.
People buying olive green DCF, usually want the olive green side to be on the outside, as it helps when wild camping, where stealth is often required...So you have basically ruined the bag!
