how bags and backpacks are made

[@AlfredoGrey]

Sometimes we don’t appreciate the quality work off all that people that makes our daily use products possible. Perhaps they deserve more credit and compensation for they commitment and hard work to make products real. Thank you for sharing!

[@elconquistador932]

Those peeps have some serious talent! I wish I had some of their tooling. I spend a ton of time with making templates, cutting everything out by hand and just keeping my machine behaving properly, let alone the sewing time. These people are so fast I feel like I'm going backwards lol.

[@stephenmartinek8315]

My four year old daughter was utterly engrossed by this. Thank you for sharing.

[@BagMe.]

Maybe she will become a backpack brand owner someday :)

[@ladypinkbagsetc.9116]

Thank you so much for a very informative video. Sewing is a daily part of my life for over 45 years! The sewing machine is music to my ears!

[@BagMe.]

Are you still making bags now?

[@9catlover]

it really makes one appreciate how things are made therefore appreciate the item. lots of care has been taken with each seam, stitch and zipper

[@prosenjithalder9335]

[@PaulGDowling]

Incredible. Thank you for showing what is involved

[@vickylin5126]

Wow! This is amazing! So it really is handmade! So they work in steps and assembly line. I thought it would be one person making the entire bag at one time. So interesting!

[@BagMe.]

Really glad you learned something from the video. Yes, the bags are hand made, with the help from a few machines. But without people, we can't make the bags

[@blancaduque5685]

Estaré esperando más super proyectos como estos .me encantó.

[@enriquet548]

My first job in the 80's was working for The North Face inspecting tents. I had to put up the tent with poles and inspect the inside and outside and cut loose threads. That was workout. Whenever I buy any clothing I know how to inspect the inside and out.

[@tekknorat]

Hats off.

[@elconquistador932]

Since I started getting back into sewing I do the same. Everything gets turned inside out and checked out. I like checking out bags and packs, just to see their construction, helps me figure out how to make a panel or how something goes together maybe better then how I do it. Tent construction is also on my list. What's your favorite design with a tent and why?

[@BagMe.]

@@elconquistador932 my favourite tent designs are external pole sleeves, multi-pitch. I don't like modern tents where you put up the inner first and then throw the fly over. Because they suck when it's raining as your inner is wet before the fly goes on. You can see an example of what I am talking about on my website at www.bagme.com.au/projects

[@ardedou065]

Thank you so much for sharing this! May I ask you what is the white perforated fabric glued behind edges of pockets (3:23 in the video)?

[@BagMe.]

Edouard, this material is a "non-woven" fabric. You can search this on duckduckgo to find out more. It is similar fabric to a low-cost shopping bag but a little thicker and we use it for stiffening part of a bag. We also use it for low-cost stitching reinforcement behind foam, or we can use it like you saw in the video to create a frame and give us an edge to fold fabric over and glue when we need a neat and stable fold...
