Making A Pack With Layered Pockets

[@backpackman5643]

Thanks for this video. I like that you show your process, including mistakes. I’ve always had a problem with wanting to fix all my mistakes, maybe even too much, which ended up prolonging the project. I see this as a good example of how not to dwell on fixing details that don’t affect functionality.

Nice work. When your making the wings could you feed the webbing on the inside so you can keep the nice look of the fabric.

Thanks! I have sandwiched the webbing in the wings on packs I've made in the past, but I find that I like having the exposed webbing, as it creates a loop I can clip a carabiner to. But depending on what your goals for your project are, keeping the look clean is definitely an option! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Love it!!! 😃

Hi Jason I think it's so cool that you also do acrylic paint pouring. How cool is it that u can 'transfer' your paint creations onto fabric! Anyhow, it's been eons since I've sewn anything, but with the way things are going in the world, I need to just focus on creating. ;)

The ease of having original art (painting, photos, whatever) printed on technical fabrics is so awesome, I can't believe more people don't seem to take advantage of it! Thanks for watching and commenting, and welcome back to sewing!

Have watched it now but I'll have to watch it again more slowly to understand what you did. Thank you Jason!

[@lizziel4876]

Oh fantastic Jason!! I shall save this for later!

Enjoyed this, will definitely save it for later. I know you. kind of wing a lot of your processes, but do you have a preferred stitch length for bartacking on the Sailrite?

[@thejasonofalltrades]

Thanks! I, as you have figured out, don't have an established protocol for, well, anything, but particularly bar tacks. In the world of backpacks, etc., I don't think it really matters all that much, as the strength is likely overkill anyway. If I were sewing parachute harnesses, that would be different. That said, I do give a passing thought to whether the bar tack I'm sewing is going to be under more or less stress when I grab the lever, and do a shorter stitch length if more strength makes sense. Often, though, I make those decisions more based on appearance. Doing some Googling, I found this from the specs for a US Forest Service first aid case, the section for bar tacks says - "Bartacking. Unless otherwise specified, bartacks shall be 1/2 inch in length, 116 inch, and 1/8 inch in width, 1/32 inch, with 28 stitches per bartack." Off the top of my head, the would mean in this case you could sew with a stitch length of 14 stitches per inch and go back and forth over the 1/2 inch bar tack 4 times(round trip) to get 28 stitches in a 1/2-inch bar tack. I might have something wrong, but something like that. I usually start my bar tacks with a row of straight stitches, I don't know if that is part of a "real" bar tack or whether that counts in the 28 stitches in the specification, so the math could be slightly off. I think unless you are making something where safety is a critical factor, if you sew something that looks like a bar tack, you should be fine. If safety is a critical factor, I would at least consult a relevant specification so you at least have some idea what is used in the applicable industry. I hope that helps, thanks for being part of the channel!

@@thejasonofalltrades whoa, thanks Jason. For more in depth of a response than expected. I appreciate you taking the time and work! 🤙

[@katherinebarbery1762]

I usually make mistakes by putting the layers facing wrong way,so when you turn it right side out ,the wrong side of fabric is showing,so easy to make this mistake😊😊

Nice video. I just found your channel. Can you please tell me where I can get that sticker? “Regret no defects”. Thanks! I look forward to sewing more of your videos. My favorite type of sewing is making problem-solving items, bags, etc.

[@thejasonofalltrades]

Hi, and welcome! The "Respect The Defects" is from LearnMYOG, you should definitely check them out! learnmyog.com Thanks for watching!

Nice project - I wish you were a cyclist and not a runner... then you would help me to make some bike-packing bags for my bike touring adventures... BTW, your mess means you are real and human, not a curated influencer...

[@thejasonofalltrades]

Thanks David! Technically, I'm not NOT a cyclist - I rarely road ride anymore beyond the occasional work commute, but I mountain bike a bit, and I am REALLY tempted by gravel bikes. I don't know that I will ever be a bike tourer, but the bags look interesting! What sort of trips are you doing (or planning)?

[@nancyingram966]

No pattern. You just kinda "wing it". 😁
