How to make a double mag pouch

[@georgeschmitt8205]

Thanks for the tutorial. Best I've found so far. Good deal getting that old Pfaff. The germans screwed up and built a machine you can use every day and your grandkids could wind up with it.

muchisimas gracias tenia problemas con un pouch triple por el tema de los dobleces me has salvado te estoy agradecido

Started this today with the scraps of a multicam bdu i had laying around, thank you for the awesome videos and the inspiration to get into the gear making works

[@thriftyoperator637]

Cool. Let us know how it turns out. I’m interested to hear how the cotton material does.

[@Northy.1_2]

@@thriftyoperator637 worked out really well, the cotton material gives it a little stretch so im able to squeeze extra things like 7.62 mags, 600ml water bottles .etc. had left over material so I had a go at making a similiar style recce rig like your other video but with mp5 mags. it turned out okayish haha, tagged you on instagram if wanted to see the results, thanks again for the awesome videos. any chance you'd revisit the plate carrier tutorials? i'd love to see how a JPC 2.0 style carrier comes together

I love that you make videos on such niche topics. Please don't change when you inevitably end up with a couple hundred thousand subscribers. Your channel is so much better than mine. 😂 as soon as your videos get out there a bit more and people start binge watching and sharing, your channel is going to explode

nice. im about to get a sewing machine to make my own custom flecktarn line since its so hard to find. your videos will help me if/when i get around to it. thank you. subscribed.

[@elconquistador932]

I use a chop stick when popping corners out and working seams. You have both a rounded blunt end and a slightly shaper skinny end. 👍🏼

[@austindowton6238]

you can get rid of the twist by stopping in the middle when you sew all the way around and then doing the other side in the same direction so the foot doesnt drag the fabric in opposite directions

[@paolochang4142]

Nice, simple and effective

[@MidwestSurvivalCompany]

Bro thank you. This channel doesn’t have the following it should and I’m sorry. But god bless you bro! I’ve always wanted to learn to do this and I feel I can comfortably do it.

[@thriftyoperator637]

Thanks! I’m not chasing numbers. I just have a fun time making videos.

[@MidwestSurvivalCompany]

Can I ask what kind of thread you use ? I just got a sewing machine and trying to learn how to use it strictly to make stuff like this. Any specific needles ? Thanks I’m advance !

Great job. You should do a video on single SMG stick mag pouches and pistol pouches.

Sorry to ask if you have done one already, but could you possibly do a video on how to make a triple m4 molle pouch? I want to try and make one for use on my jpc 1.0

Do you mean 3 in one pouch with a flap or three individuals single stacked in a shingle?

[@beguinworkshop9068]

@@thriftyoperator637 single stacked. sorry if that was unclear. something low profile (somewhat like a bfg triple) cause I am wanting to take a shot at making one for my pc.

[@thriftyoperator637]

@@beguinworkshop9068 look through my videos from about a year ago for one titled “how to make a mag pouch//plate carrier shingle”. That one isn’t molle though. I have seen a good video on one of those from another channel so you might search around.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

@@beguinworkshop9068 You mean their 10 speed? Because all you have to do with that is sew a molle panel with straps, and then on top of that sew 6" elastic on top flat, and sew vertical stiches 2.5" apart. If you want a velcro closure, sew velcro onto the elastic before you sew it on, and sew a the velcro flap as you sew the molle.

What are the seam allowances I'm gonna try this project this morning thanks for the help in advance

3/8ish. Any dimension I give includes it

Hey man could u do a video on a padded adjustable rifle sling. I bought a template from a guy on KZbin with material list and for whatever reason no matter what I do i can't get the material tight against the foam like he has it. His video doesn't go into very good detail about it ur vid r perfect to understand. It's by snarky arts if u wonna see what I'm trying to accomplish.

Thank you for a great video. Which sewing machine are you using please? Mine can’t cope, so am looking for an industrial.

[@thriftyoperator637]

It’s an old Japanese one I found on Craigslist. I don’t know much about sewing machines but I’ve heard the singer heavy duty ones are good.

[@elconquistador932]

Not sure about your budget, but Sailrite makes some pretty beastie machines. I'm still learning but I took over my wife's LSZ1 zig zag. I can sew as many layers of cordura that can possibly be crammed under the foot.

[@joesavoca5959]

Which type of cordura do you recommend for pouches?

[@thriftyoperator637]

It doesn’t really make a difference to me. I use 500 and 1000

[@DutchAndGamer]

I've been really into your videos lately and gonna try making my own pouches and such. I see you get your Cordura from Amazon, is that reliable? How do you know when it's crappy material? Also what is an okay price for Cordura? Cause I see a lot of sites, some are expensive as hell and others really cheap!

[@thriftyoperator637]

Amazon is good if you are just buying for one project but if you want to buy in bulk I would recommend rockywoods.com. Last time I bought material it was around $10 per yard.

[@DutchAndGamer]

I have seen Rockywood been mentioned here and there! Thank you@@thriftyoperator637 ! Time to make some pouches ^^

[@Elvydnir]

Is this big enough for an AK mag?

[@thriftyoperator637]

Probably not. Just make the flap a bit longer and make the pouch larger.

Great video! 2 questions….. how heavy duty of a sewing machine does one need? I’ve been eyeing an Amazon special for a while. Why not Malice clips instead of the string method

[@TheFinalAppeal]

And 3….. would uniform material be too thin for this application? I’d love to use woodland MARPAT

[@thriftyoperator637]

@@TheFinalAppeal I haven’t used many machines so I can’t speak for most but I used the super cheap brother sewing machine that I have linked for a long time and it did pretty good. I just had to hand feed it the thicker parts. I used loops because they are simple and you don’t have to buy anything else. Uniform material may be a little too thin but you don’t know until you try.

[@JohnnyUrbanWoodsmen]

hey if you dont mind me chiming in, I would not get that cheap brother sewing machine, No disrespect to the channel owner, but that brother will give you more headaches then help, I wouldnt go any cheaper then the Singer heavy duty 4432, and if you want anything heavier, get a sailrite clone, like a sewstrong , or Rex607 for $399 or $499 with a 9" bed, which is what I use, (I have a video)with a Sailrite balance wheel upgrade, now thats a power house, second to getting a industrial sewing machine, plus its mobile. Hope this helps
