Stop/Eject tape #7: Make a Sandbag

Katie turns her hand to sewing sandbags to weigh down lighting stands on the Stop/Eject shoot. She hand-makes an upcycled 1 stone (6.35kg) sandbag out of a canvas bag. If you don't have the sewing skills to follow along, you can get a pair of these sandbags from us by sponsoring Stop/Eject £30 at stopejectmovie.com

Awesome - Katie should be a teacher! Next time I get a free shopping bag in a magazine, I'm going to make a sandbag out of it. It may therefore end up being floral, but that's cool =)

Thank you so much for this tutorial video! I do sew already and I understand the "what and the why" of the process. I was looking for a different type of video and happened across this one and while not what I was specifically looking for I do want/need this info! The bags I have are not openable. Your design is adaptable to different situations - e.g. I can make bags that my 11 yr old child can carry, and I can bring purpose made empty bags and temporarily fill they with on sight " natural" material (wood, rocks, dirt) or put tools I will be using in a bag and (so long as I do not remove too much weight at one time) my tools are handy and my gear is stable
