How I build a bicycle stem bag using Swedish Camo Cordura 500D fabric

This week, I'm building a Bicycle frame bag using Cordura 500D fabric. It is a bag designed around the bicycle handlebar. You can carry things like a wallet, power bank batteries, energy bars, chocolate, water bottles and even a cup of Latte!

Using a grommet on the drawstring is a great idea. I’ll have to try that on the next ones I make. Keep up the good work!

[@remonlemmens5284]

Professional equipment and beautifully made.

Good evening. Wonderful craftsmanship; well done to you. Have a few questions: 1) do you sell your patterns at all? 2) May I ask where you source that hexagonal-shaped strap holder that has two oblong slits on it that is sewn onto the bag? I saw those on your website. Thanks!!

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

Hi there, thank you for your comment. We do not really sell any of our bag pattern for now but we are thinking of doing it maybe starting March 2024. For the strap holder, we used a laser cut machine and customised it.

[@NicholasAlfino]

What is the machine at 10:38 that does that hem?

[@tylerparent1939]

I"m working with mesh for the first time and I'm curious how you pleated yours into the elastic? It's proving to be a bit of a nightmare

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

Hi there, it can be a nightmare working with mesh material. I think maybe you might need to sew it using a wider width like 3mm - 4mm.

[@Feus5889]

Thank you for the videos! Do you mind sharing where you bought the 210T nylon fabric please

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

Hi there, I bought the 210T fabric when I go to Japan quarterly.

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

You can also try Rockywood Fabric!

[@Phidelux]

Love this project. What are these patches called, you sew to the bottom of the bag.

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

Thank you so much for watching! Those patches are strap holder.

[@remonlemmens5284]

From what material are your templates made of? I like that practice to get consistant results and work faster at the same time

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

The template is a 2mm cardboard from local art shop.

[@stin987]

What’s the name of that circular cutting wheel?

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

This is circular fabric cutter from OLFA.

[@dankarau2307]

What foam are you using? Is there a specific name for it?

[@danzap384]

where in the video is foam being used?

[@dankarau2307]

@@danzap384 On the bottom and sides to act like stiffeners.

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

It is PE laminating foam. There are various thickness in size. I'm using 3mm thickness.

[@frenchescarthecraftsmaker]

Yes, it acts like a stiffener at the same this too!
