\n\n\n2nd project so far:
\nMostly working on creating some sort of UL prototypes for camping out of Tyvek Material and this is my idea of roll top sacks, they have an accordion bottom so they expand for extra storage! meant for storage management but not really intended to be dry sacks since I do not have any sealing tape but that would be fun to figure out next!
Large: 0.97oz (No Velcro)
\nMedium: 0.4oz (No Velcro)
\nSmall 0.38oz (Velcro)
Buckle Hardware: 0.06oz
\nWebbing Strap 14”: 0.1oz

\n\n\nBased off of the Litesmith chairs and similar. Made out of some scrap cordura I had laying around. I made a pocket for the bottom where I can slide in my sit pad. I actually find this more comfortable than the typical Helionox chairs as this has a higher back and I can lean back more and get more back support.
\n\nFun and easy project! I have enough fabric to make one more and think ill try and tweak the length just a tad shorter.

\n\n\nWhen I was doing metalwork and making tools, often I would get an idea that wasn't within my order book and was outside my normal style. I would almost always make that project, and it would always push my skills and creativity forward. This is one of those projects. I decided that I wanted to take the pattern that I built for a 40L pack and convert it into a classic looking pack with panel loading access.
\n\nUsually when I update a pattern I am very thoughtful. I think through all the potential issues, and when I go to sew the bag, no real problems arise. Well, I rushed this one, and I don't know if I have ever had to seam rip this much before. I had panels that were just slightly too long. I forgot to add webbing. I added seam allowance where I didn't need to. Etc.
\n\nOverall I am very happy with how it came out. The panel loading is functional. The panel has a #10 zipper on either side with storm flaps and a big velcro cover over top. The straps have load lifters to take some of the stress off of the velcro and the zippers. They need to be unhooked using the g-hooks to access the panel.
\n\nI really like the water bottle pocket design. Since this is a classic looking pack, I didn't want to have pockets that were really \"balloony.\" Instead of the standard pleated pocket I usually use, I made a pocket with a single pleat that I topstitched at the pleat, so that it would lay flat when it wasn't filled.
\n\nThere are a few things that could have gone better. I fully intended to add compression straps to the sides of the pack. Unfortunately I forgot until I was too far down the build to go back to add them in. I really like the design of the lid, but unless the pack is fully filled the flap is quite large. I think I could downsize it in the future (maybe).
\n\nThe pack is made out of 1000D Cordura and ballistic nylon from Rockywoods Fabric, and Venom Gridstop from Ripstop by the Roll.

\n\n\nI own a few packs from the amazing Alpine Luddites and Cold Cold World. I love them a lot, but I wish they had real frames. I've been having some back issues so a frame really does a great job moving the weight from my back to my hips.

\n\n\nI’ve finally gotten around to finish sewing a backpack, for which I had the fabric panels already cut and lying around for quite some time but didn’t get to it. Now that it’s done, I’m really happy about it, despite some minor flaws.
\n\nThe pack it’s about 35ish litres in volume at a weight of 705g in this configuration, so without a hip belt. I couldn’t find the time to make one, so I used one of a previous pack in combination with the provisional lumbar pad. The weight doesn’t include the thumb loops, because they’re detachable and only used when I don’t have a shoulder strap pocket and a bottle holder attached to the straps.
\n\nThe fabrics i used are x-pac x21 rc, a lightweight 4-way-stretch mesh, a thin 3d air mesh for the trampoline and some regular 3d mesh for straps and the lumbar pad.
\n\nThe frame is made from two 12*2mm flat strips made from pultruded carbon and they’re inserted into sleeves that are made from folded nylon webbing. They’re held in place with a Velcro tie wrap, because I also haven’t gotten to make an x-shaped sleeve to replace it.
\n\nThe shoulder straps are connected to the body with a single silk clip and are adjustable. Unfortunately, i made some measurement mistakes on that construction, which lead to the size range of 47-65cm back length. Lucky for me, I need a length of 48cm…
\nBefore you ask: no the body doesn’t shift left or right because the load lifters stabilise it.
And there’s another mistake I made, the load lifters aren’t connected to the frame. This way they only work as desired, if the pack is filled high enough so the contents help push the body into the frame. Nonetheless, the frame diverts the weight onto the hip belt just as it’s intended to do, making the pack as comfortable to carry as I hoped it would.
\nI already tested it on an overnighter last weekended and it performed very well with ~9-10kg load.
All in all, I find it to be a successful experiment, especially because this is my first framed pack and there are not many existing packs with an x-frame construction that could serve as examples for how to construct the frame.

\n\n\nBuilt this for the PCT and figured I’d share how it turned out now that the trail is done. This was not hard and my specs are below:
\n\n80” × 54” × 44”
\n7D inner / 10D outer (3 yards each)
\n16 oz of 900 FP down
\n13 horizontal chambers
\n~2.5” baffles (buy 3.5”)
\nSewn footbox @ 17\"
\n626g / 22.1 oz finished @ less than 200.00$
It worked great through April/May Sierra snow and eventually became too warm in parts of Oregon (June) and central Washington (late June / July). 80% of the time I cowboy camped.
\n\nIt also compressed surprisingly well and dried quickly.
\n\nThe only real issue was some feather/quill poke-through, and interestingly it only happened through the outer 10D. I never had feathers puncture through the 7D inner. I patched the few spots that needed it and kept moving.
\n\nOverall, pretty stoked with it. 22 oz finished, survived the PCT, kept me warm, and packed well in a 37L palante.
\n\nNever sewed beforehand and bought a sewing machine at a thrift store. I used ChatGPT for my how to instructions.
\n\nNow it desperately needs a wash 😂

\n\n\nscroll to the end to see our little sewing helpers
\n\nThis was my first ever attempt at making a garment. I’ve not touched a sewing machine before this.
\n\nMy sister and I set out with the idea to make jackets for camping, specifically for nighttime chores. We looked through their pattern box and found this, which we decided would work.
\n\nMy girlfriend has a degree in fashion design, and so their help was wonderful and patient. They are the best teacher.
\n\nOverall, it was very easy to navigate the directions, even as a complete beginner. The zipper was honestly the easiest part of the project, I look forward to working with them again! A zipper foot on the machine did a great help.
\n\nI did accidentally sew a pocket onto the jacket in the wrong orientation, but i call the wide pocket the “snack pouch.” That pouch can hold a whole ipad, completely hidden btw. It’s huge!
\n\nI sewed button holes into the inside of the bottom hem so I can put shock chord through eventually and a toggle to synch the bottom up during the colder months.
\n\nI decided on a half (ish) zipper because when I get hot, a 1/4 zip does nothing for venting. and this allows me to slip my arms out of the top and have it around my waist still, useful when you come inside from snowshoeing.
\n\nI loved my first project, and will definitely be back for more once the summer months die down! I have an old sleep pad that I could tear into for a fun trial and error project, haven’t picked out what yet but the material WILL come in handy.
\n\nThank you all for being such an inspiration to get started making my own stuff!! You all rock! And a special thank you to my girlfriend, without them this project would’ve been MUCH more difficult.

Here's a very niche question! I'm working on a bike frame bag for my daughter. It's sole purpose will be to carry her 7 plastic horse figures. I'm going to install a zipper around the entire perimeter of the bag so that, when the flap is undone, the horses are stored in holders on the flap. Think bandolier style. I originally though I would use loops with velcro for each individual horse because sliding them in without a loop that opens is tricky because of their shape. But I'm wondering if anyone has alternative ideas. I feel experienced enough to make the bag but I'm still new to all the fasteners/hooks/ etc available to me.

\n\n\nI originally designed the pattern and handmade the first sample about 2 years ago in Clo3D and with each new version I’ve added more functional features - this latest version has an invisible ventilation zipper on the inside of the leg.
\n\nSome of the other features include:
\n\nMy favourite feature is definitely the side pocket. Spent SO much time integrating the shape into the design. Really wanted to challenge myself and make a piece of outdoor gear that was vibrant and pretty while also being super functional for warmer weather climbing and hiking.
\n\nI think one thing I may change in my next version is hiding the elastic leg pulleys inside the pants instead of outside so the pants are a little more streamlined but other than that I’m super happy with the progression.
\n\nI know this wider leg fit isn’t for everyone but I love the airiness and freedom of movement I get when bouldering, sport climbing and hiking.
\n\nI made a video on my page recently with more info about the pants too: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbtUGx7oyDL/
\n\nWould love to hear your feedback!

\n\n\nI noticed that only our \"small\" 4 person Tent doesn't have pockets or organizers on the outside of the sleeping tent. The 6 person and 8 person versions have them.
\n\nThe fabric is just cotton bedsheets. I added contrasting binding to each opening. Because the tent has it on every pocket and zipper to find them even in dim lighting. I finished most of it at home and then just took the D rings and some thread to finish it while camping.
\n\nFree Zipper Pouch. The zipper is from an old backpack and the fabric is a decathlon shopping bag. I just need an od size pouch for my wrist braces and other medical supplies
Extra Strap for my hiking and climbing backpack.this is the prototype from things I had around. Every strap opens something. So if I clip my shoes or helmet somewhere and then try to open the back it falls off. The straps are pulled through the loops for hiking poles. I plan on buying gray straps and ordering a replacement Buckel from Deuter for the final product. The prototype worked well.
Merino wool Bralett/ sports Bra.
I made the pattern myself to sew some everyday comfy cotton Braletts. I noticed that they are also good for light sports but incredibly sweaty and smelly so I looked for a merino wool blend only and made it in wool. I still have fabric left and am going to sew a second one where I will add elastic at the bottom because the stretch doesn't recover that well compared to the cotton ones.
\n\nAll projects solved the issue I made them for ! So success!

\n\n\nMade a combination chest/hip bag for fishing a couple years ago. Decided to make a mini one just for fly fishing. I have a couple different methods to carry my net, most often it's worn like a sling, but sometimes I slide it in between the fanny pack and my body, so I am experimenting with a unique carry option in the form of a pocket that unzips top and bottom. We'll see how that works out when not in use for the net, I figure that could just be an exterior pocket using just the top zip.
\n\nMight have used a bit too heavy material on a small bag like this because the seams aren't staying unfolded, but hopefully breaking it in will help there.

\n\n\nFirst attempt at a pattern I made based off of the HMG bag of a similar style. My Neighbors camera was a bit bigger than what would fit in the HMG so I gave it a shot.
\n\nLiner is a thin ripstop another neighbor of mine gifted me with some of his artwork on it.
\n\nMain fabric:
\nX-PAC VX21 (black)
1/4” EVA foam extends up to ~10” to cover the camera but allow the roll top to .. roll.
\n\nI will probably go with small carabiners instead of the G-hooks with gatekeepers as the G-hooks are a little too annoying to take on and off in an outdoor / active environment (ski touring, hiking, etc.).
\n\nCheers 🤘

Looking for favorite pattern/videos that would let me practice tidier corners. I’m getting more comfortable with many of the skills to make lined bags/pouches, but I wish this looked nicer.

\n\n\nA while back I drilled two holes in my Pfaff Select's accessory box cover and installed heat-set threaded inserts, to attach a Sailrite-style swing away binding attachment (last pic, full post on that here)
\n\nI wanted to try a right angle binder - which, although I've only used it twice so far, it seems MUCH easier - but as usual none would fit on a domestic.
\n\nAnd while I could drill more holes, I just made an adapter plate by drilling into an aluminum sheet, and hot gluing the attachment to it. I'll probably later switch to epoxy.
\n\nJury rigged, no doubt, but if it works and it's stupid is it still stupid? Anyhow, I just wanted to share in case others without an industrial machine think they can't use cool, whizbang attachments.

\n\n\nHey y’all! It was a bit quiet at the shop, so i figured i’d treat myself and sew up a quick edc bag. Two pouches under the flap, nice hidden zipper that i really like, and on the inside i just went with a mesh pocket on one side and some dividers on the other side. All metal hardware cause i dislike plastic. Materials are 330 gram acrylic cloth (Masacril), 4cm polyester webbing and 2,5cm dynema webbing. Let me know what you think :)

\n\n\nHey all!
\n\nJust finished my first myog backpack based on the 40L frameless* pattern from Prickly Gorse.
\n\nI swapped out the front mesh pocket for a sleek collapsible zip pocket on the front, and opted for some running style straps which can be paired with a padded hip belt when attached via the tunnel. I also recycled some aluminium stays from an old travel pack which can slide in the back pocket for some extra support.
\n\nPretty excited to take this out on some local trails!

\n\n\nI wanted a quick-ish way to test colorways using fabrics I own, so that I wasn't tempted to buy more fabric for upcoming projects. I whipped up a simple pouch pattern in CLO 3D to test some colorways based on the approximate colors and basic textures of some real fabrics i had on hand.
\n\nThe idea was that I can make a full-sized backpack from a colorway once I've made a pouch with the same elements.
\n\nThese pouches were meant to be medium-quality, quick-and-dirty test bags, but I ended up liking them enough to develop them into usable everyday cross-body bags.
\n\nI didn't choose both colorways from the CLO model, opting for a brown, orange, and black combo for my second build.
\n\nI love the aesthetics of them, and the size is perfect for phone, keys, wallet, sunglasses, and EDC stuff like lens wipes. I can even fit a book in the main pocket.
\n\nAfter some wear testing, I can say that the usability is kind of bad. The snap flap that seals the main pocket is annoying to fasten, and the rear pouch is almost totally inaccessible while wearing the bag. The G-hook grips the webbing so tightly that nothing will fall out, which is nice.
\n\nA fun project overall, so I wanted to share. Happy to answer any questions!

\n\n\nI don't have a sewing machine. I made this bag with paracord and thin nylon fabric. I used the shoulder straps from my hiking backpack and designed and 3d printed the hooks. The idea was to maximize the payload I could carry in a carry-on backpack. I tested it during my trip to Japan. It looks really ugly, but it carries the load remarkably well. It is very lightweight of course.

\n\nPattern is mostly learn myog ultralight windproof. I essentially made the jacket 3 times for each layer. Added a chest pocket and popper at the bottom to allow for the two way zip. If I made another version I would try alter the hood to make it able to go over a climbing helmet but otherwise pretty happy with it.
\n\nOuter Ripstop I picked up in Japan otherwise all fabrics and accessories were from Adventure Xpert
\nClimashield Apex 167 for body and hood
\nClimashield Apex 133 for sleeves

\n7D Soft Ripstop fabric for the lining
Final weight 361g

What a journey…","link":"https://www.reddit.com/r/myog/comments/1vd68v1/finally_got_my_juki_lu562_restored_and_sewing/","author":"TomatoRoast","published_at":"2026-08-02T02:47:39+00:00","content":"\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/gallery/1vd68v1
\n\n\nTL;DR: Drove 3 hours to buy a LU-563 only to have the seller cancel while I was on the way. Ended up finding this neglected LU-562 in PA for $300 instead. Tore it down, cleaned decades of grime and dried oil, restored the stand, wrapped the tabletop, installed a servo motor with a needle positioner, and brought it back to life. Still need a few presser feet and accessories, but it’s sewing beautifully now—and I’m officially hooked on industrial machines.
\n\nWhat a rollercoaster this machine turned out to be.
\n\nTwo weeks ago I was all set to buy a Juki LU-563 in Maryland. I had already driven almost 3 hours when the seller messaged me saying he had an “emergency” and couldn’t meet. Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled.
\n\nSince I was already halfway there, I started searching Marketplace again and found this LU-562 in Pennsylvania. Considering the condition, I offered $300, and they accepted. I rushed over before anything else could happen. When I got it home… it was rough.
\n\nIt looked like it had spent years sitting in a basement. It was covered in grime, dog hair, old oil, and had that unmistakable musty basement smell. Judging by the condition, I don’t think it had seen fresh oil in many years.
\n\nI decided to give it a second life.
\nDisassembled the stand
\nRemoved the rust and repainted the legs
\nWrapped the tabletop in vinyl
\nCleaned years of oil sludge from the machine
\nFlushed and re-oiled every lubrication point
\nCleaned the hook race and hook drive
\nReplaced the clutch motor with a servo
\nAdded a needle positioner (which has been an absolute game changer!)
The machine fought me a little along the way. I spent far more time than I expected chasing what I believe is some bevel gear noise in the hook drive. After a lot of troubleshooting, cleaning, oiling, and testing, I decided to stop overthinking it. The machine sews beautifully, the noise has actually started getting quieter as everything has been cleaned, lubricated, and run in, and I’m just going to enjoy using it.
\n\nIt’s not completely finished yet. I still need to:
\nDial in the stitch length a little more.
\nPick up a few presser feet (zipper, piping, and a standard smooth set).
\nOrder some larger cones of bonded polyester thread and more bobbins.
\nInstall a binder attachment.
Even so, it’s already sewing far better than I expected for a machine that had clearly been neglected for years.
\n\nComing from vintage domestic Singers, the servo motor with a needle positioner is incredible. I honestly don’t think I could go back. Having slow-speed control and the needle automatically stopping exactly where I want it has made sewing so much easier.
\n\nHere are some before and after photos. I’m really happy with how this old LU-562 cleaned up, and considering this was my first time working on an industrial machine, I’m even happier that I didn’t mess anything up. I think it has many more decades of life left in it.
\n\nI always enjoy seeing old machines brought back instead of being scrapped, so I figured I’d share this one.
\n\nIf anyone has favorite presser feet, binder setups, or other must-have accessories for the LU-562, I’d love to hear your recommendations.

\n\n\nHey, I’ve finished my first 2 myog projects, new to this hobby and sewing in general.
\nThe first one was the LearnMYOG stem bag, free pattern and video tutorial so it was perfect for the first project, learning how a sewing machine works, the fabrics etc. Thanks again u/g8trtim
\nFabrics : double ripstop 210 black - random light yellow Ripstop - mesh & strap from ExtremTextil
The second is made from scratch, Cardboard for the pattern and a lot of time for having a good and usable pattern (spoiler : still not perfect atm, but I’m planning a V2)
\nFabrics : Robic 210 black - Same yellow ripstop + stiffener made with divider plastic sheet -> it works really well and I’m really happy how it turned out
\nIf you have any feedbacks or questions I’ll be happy to read them
(the last picture show how chaotic my \"workspace\" is after few hours)

\n\n\nHere are my second and third MYOG projects, both using patterns from @Prickly Gorse and materials from @ Monkey Puzzle Fabrics in Aus.
\n\nFirst is the 8 ltr Trail Running pack and second is the 40l frameless hike pack.
\n\nA steep learning curve on both bags but very happy with the results.
\n\nThe main mod on the 40l frameless was sewing the hip belt to main pack rather than removable that proved pretty tricky but turned out well. I used a 4mm core flute as the slide in frame with lightweight aluminium section top and bottom that fit snug to the centre stay. The idea was to have the most direct connection between the hip belt and load lifters which seems to have worked pretty well.
\n\nCurrently working on the Prickly Gorse 25l day pack which in hindsight would have been a better second MYOG project as it is less complex but where's the fun in that!
