[@matejm447]

my brother you are an impressive person

[@crashgoggz]

Great to see a maker who doesn't just stick to a single type of make.

[@israel_morrison]

yo your dad needs to start a KZbin channel on sewing. his shop looks like thres a lot of experience in there!

[@tomkirchner]

Miles, love the sewing shop of your father! But even better is your filming, explanation and the way about how you create your story. Really nice idea with the shrinking tube! Loved that!

[@rechellethackray]

This blows my mind, you have done an amazing job! To not only design a bag for exactly what you want, but to then figure out a pattern and sew it all together..... man you are epic.

[@technodiy8985]

As a fellow product designer who has been watching KZbin videos about people making stuff for pretty much his whole life. I would like you to know that these are the exact kind of videos I always hoped to find. To any young or learning designer who stumbled on this comment. Watch all of Miles’ videos. The positivity, uniqueness and wide array of techniques he shows will take you very far in the design world. Big ups Miles, keep up the amazing work🙌🏽

[@Balthazar2242]

The final showcase is such a pop-off. Being able to ride around with your own bag...what a boss

[@Stacy_Sunshine]

stumbled on you and want to drop love for seeing younger people working out the mechanics and building things!

[@zoehamilton9993]

You do a great tutorial! Great voice, great voice over , great videography! Thank you 😊❤

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you, that means the world to me. I’m glad you think I have a decent voiceover voice haha

[@evilezra]

Well done. I love the pop of color that the yellow zipper and stitching add without being too much. Keep up the good work.

[@triciap3803]

I'm so impressed with your sewing ability, creativity and video making skills, especially at such a young age. You are a huge inspiration for many. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all. 😊

[@the_Mrs.]

I apprenticed as a seamstress when I was about your age (and my master carver father taught me woodworking as well)… I am thoroughly impressed. I’ve made bags before, but nothing this well executed. You are lucky to have access to dad’s shop! It always annoys me how many KZbinrs seem to have access to all the best tools and materials, while I’m over here scraping through trash and using hand-me-down tools, but I digress. I just hope you appreciate what you have. And I will subscribe and appreciate what you do with it! PS I didn’t know they still made film for photography!! Another skill I learned in my youth, working at a photo lab in my early 20s. Kindred soul.

[@amusik7]

Super inspired by your content to take the plunge and build more things myself! I've binge watched almost all your videos and it's just great how you explain the making process in detail. I'm sure your channel will blow up any time soon - because the content you put out is just world class! Greets from the snowy Finland and have a nice holiday season.

[@joevalencic5275]

Very nice work. Nice to see young folks getting into sewing. I started when I retired and turned 68…should have done it long before, because now I have a nice little retirement Etsy shop making bags.

[@joethompson11]

This is cool as! Your Dad is awesome too

[@aShadowInBlue]

Congratulations, young man.

[@Timhey0912]

WoW!!! So creative and talented! The bag turned out great!! Your parents must be so proud!!

[@funguscreature6833]

this is so cool! i also do film photography, and carry a notebook with me everywhere. i cant carry bags on my shoulders due to chronic pain so i was excited to see the bum bag version! i may have to make one for myself.

[@A-Adahmi]

What a great idea and so well crafted!

[@truneilson]

That looks amazing! One thing I like to do it weave my zipper pulls through both holes in the zipper thus doubling the straight of the metal zipper pull.

[@Herfinnur]

FINALLY!!! FI-NA-LLY! For years now I've regularly searched KZbin for someone showing how proper, modern, durable bags and such are made, and this is the first time something shows up. Could you make or have you made a video on what kind of fabric to use and where to find it, or do you know e.g. a good book? Actually: anyone reading this please chime in 🙏 I know so little that I don't even know what to look for, but I have an eternal dream of making ADHD-friendly custom items for myself. Not least a backpack. I've looked both online and in all fabric shops in almost a 100km radius, but online there's never any information on e.g. the tensile strength of the fabric and in the rural area I'm in they only sell and know about either really dainty fabric or fabric for curtains.

[@jnxmck]

I've actually put together a video on what kind of machine/fabric/tools/hardware you'll need to start making your own gear, you can find it here:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHfQg3SHoN-nadE

[@Herfinnur]

@@jnxmck Better late than never! I wonder why that video didn't pop up except because youtube search is broken🤬 I've bought some materials that I'm not so sure about, but they where cheap. I probably need to make a lot of mistakes anyway. I thought I could use my wife's machine, but from that video of yours, I think I might try out the foot crancked Singer standing in her family's old summer house. Her grandmother (I think) used that machine up until the 80s or 90s, so it might be in somewhat working condition Also, they are very suspicious of a man even visiting their shop, so I never feel very welcome Edit: 🤦‍♂️ you only have seven videos, I could have looked through your videos and found it instantly 🤦‍♂️

[@JockScrapDraws]

Came to your channel after the Tenhun collab vid. Watched your vid and was blown away by the talent you have so i subbed. Watching this vid I can now see you have many layers of talent and creativity. That bag looks amazing and so professional looking Guchi would be proud:). Well done and keep up the fantastic work

[@lordofgraphite]

Duuuuuude I'm absolutely stunned. The design, the functionality, the level of polish, all incredible. Especially loved the nasa one with xpac material! I'm so inspired.

[@leafrau2596]

I really appreciate your videos! Love your designs and your positive energy. Also I think it's really noticeable that you care about the people watching =). Keep up the great work!

[@sarahgardner8856]

Great job! I sew and photograph, but for some reason I never thought of combining the two!

[@slaunts9453]

Really nice. Great video as well. If you make another one I recommend double stitching everything. It will last much longer, and is one of the benefits of a DIY bag. Most companies only single stitch to lower costs.

[@mountainsolesoutdoorthreads]

It turned out great Miles! You had a very clear idea of what you wanted and you were able to turn that vision into reality. Keep up the great work!

[@spxctrvm]

I've never tought I will enjoy watching a whole video about making bag.

[@charly92257]

Seeing you sew really motivates and encourages me to learn it too! Many new possibilities! Keep up the good work!

[@JensenHess]

Love the kendama stickers on sketch book. Your kendama video is how I found your channel a while ago, and I'm stoked I did because you whip up some insane builds bro. You inspire me to think more creatively and to just try new things. Cheers man, wishin' you nothing but more success

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film, well shot and edited. Gorgeous bag, well designed and constructed. Mad sewing skills. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you for the support as always! It's just fun to throw in a sewing project here and there. Thanks for watching.

[@mushy213]

ok wow I am speechless.... that must be so satisfying and rewarding to be able to use a bag that you made!!! seriously, so Impressive

[@jb.1256]

Am I the only one getting hot under the collar watching this man confidently maneuver a sewing machine? Oh myyyy

[@Amiro05]

Amazing video! And great bag design! Im a big fan of the color scheme and patterns, love it

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks for watching the video! I'm pretty happy how all the colors came together also, and it does tie in with the kumiko pattern ;)

[@Amiro05]

@@MakeWithMiles love it man, also the color of your videos, its just incredible, i assume you do some color grading but the environment you're in is incredible for these cinematic type shots! Anyway love it all my guy keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Congratulations on graduating highschool. Miles awesome job. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you so much Jared! Super excited for this summer because I will making a lot more videos. Thanks for the comment ;)

[@SchysCraftCo.]

@@MakeWithMiles glad to hear that. Your very welcome

[@ryansingh5409]

That's a dope bag.

Amazing video mate! Keep going! 500k subs within next 3 years i guarantee!

[@MANifest_So0ManyLikeVibez90]

Man.... you're just good at anything you do. I just randomly stumbled across your instagram and decided to see if you were also on youtube. Ive got a lot of catching up to do but my goodness, youre an impressive human being! This is awesome, keep it up, youre definitely going far in this world!!!

[@tomim7187]

This was a very inspiring build. I recently was given a used sewing machine and I purchased a Kumiko kit set from Johnny Tromboukis #jtwoodworks because you inspired this old guy to expand my skill sets. Thanks Miles!

[@tiabean1635]

Hi Tom, How has your sewing and Kumiko journey been going? I’ve thought about doing Kumiko too but I’m nervous about getting started.

[@alanrobisonPD1960]

What a great bag, that looks so good brother. Your instructions were so good and I look forward to other builds from you Greetings from Southern California, this is Alan.

[@savislost]

Such awesome work!!! love to watch your videos.

[@isekaistudio1581]

Bro you're still in highschool, and you can draw, woodwork, digital fabrication and sew. 🤯🤯🤯Subscribed man in for the long game, can't wait to see you grow even more! Keep up the good stuff man 💪🔥

[@caduhara]

bro you should have so much more subs! keep it good, congrats

[@lego_minifig]

I had this same problem with the main limiting factor being a compact bag that could fit both camera gear and my 11inch iPad. The Peak Design 6L every day carry sling was literally the only bag I could find on the market that fit my criteria. Really cool project! There is nothing more satisfying then designing a solution to fit your needs yourself. Though in my case it’s usually custom organizers and storage solutions that I 3D print.

[@hej_paul]

Never stop creating things like this! ❤

[@johnnyc.5979]

Wow, very impressive. I work in leather, and I might be able to design this in illustrator, but making it, that's a different story.

[@mijaresaldo]

Really beautiful and sharp looking bag. Thanks for the video

[@jessicacollins8049]

The binder clips are genius.

[@baay81]

love the industrial machines

[@Skot4popoykin]

Очень круто получилось, Майлс! Ты даже продумал мамент с тканью, чтобы она отталкивала воду! Я бы хотел себе подобную сумку, которая почти полностью была защищена от воды. Нереально круто сделано, мужик! Держи✋🏼

[@Lebenspiel]

That's beautiful.

[@Mouserjan0222]

looks like your basic toiletry bag from Walmart Good Job

[@paulwernichdesigns]

That’s such a sweet bag. Thanks for sharing this video. Really enjoyed watching it and seeing this awesome bag come to life.

[@mattwilderx85]

Sheeeeeeesh, lookin pro. Vice cool. Wish my dad had a legit sewing studio!

[@lynn858]

Well planned and engineered! The slanted zipper IS really aesthetic. Maybe it's best you didn't realize what a pain it would be. Wise decision to leave it off the pattern, but it looks excellent.

[@michaeltobin6519]

Wow man, you’re so talented 😦👍🏻

[@ToxicMetropolis]

Loved this video! Bag looks super neat and you show all the steps really well. Thank you!

[@Obot1121]

Aaaaaand subscribed. Amazing work. Have a binder attachment that I've been too scared to try to use and I didn't even know where to begin with it, this really makes me want to get to using it. Thank you.

[@sol_in.victus]

That looks really good!! Very thorough explanation, too. Well done!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Glad you liked it! I'm always worried that I won't explain something well enough 😅

[@saniainez]

Today, this video piqued my interest. And it did not disappoint. You're a cool guy.

[@adamsal9969]

You're awesome dude, thanks for the inspiration to make my own, but better XD. Cheers from Poland!

[@gillesfrancois5277]

Cool bag!

[@TosaNewsense]

Sweet bag! Thanks to your clear and concise instructions, I think I may put a zipper on something.

[@dippaverse]

This is such a brilliant channel, very inspiring. Thank you.

[@JlmJay]

That’s sick. 👍🏻

[@MrAman47]

I hit the subscribe button but then realised I was already subscribed. Great job with the bag!

[@lassepdsn]

The fabric didn't stretch when you were sewing the main zipper, the pieces became off-set because the seam lines aren't equal length in the first place. If you sew it from the center you'll have identical offset on each side, which is a "solution". The real solution is to create a new pattern where it's fixed.

[@calokent411]

Jo dude you got it !! Awesome is ur second name I’m sure 😅 you are so talented 👌🏼 thanks for sharing this stuff 🫶

I gotta admit that curved zipper adds such a splash of flare, I think it was worth the extra trouble.

[@MaltandMake]

Love the kumiko look but it's the binding that really makes it work for me! I've been getting into film photography too, is that a 28mm f/1.8?

[@heraldosoria7730]

MUY BUENO BRO 👌👌👌👌👌

[@fatewineroses]

Did you not cut notches in your curved pieces? Cutting either a simple slit or a V-shaped notch on curved edges helps the fabric be manipulated easier and sit better.

[@adamjohnson5307]

This is the first video of yours I’ve watched but I just scrolled your page and peeped the thumbnails and titles and I’ve come to realize we have almost all of the same hobbies. This shit is blowing my mind. 😅 Even this video..I’m a photographer and I’ve just gotten into making bags. lol I promise I’m not coming onto you man

[@hearmenow909]

Shame they're not for sale, for those of us that aren't as creative as you.

Nice work. But why the white zipper instead of staying with orange?

[@MakeWithMiles]

Because I didn’t have a long enough orange zipper

@@MakeWithMiles I see. Thanks 🙏

[@CapnFlags]

I…need a sowing machine. I want a pack with a ridiculous amount of pockets both seen and hidden!
