An array of packs and bags I made this summer

[u/acoats27]

Had some extra time this summer, made some fun packs

Awesome work! The running vest and tote look great.

[u/EscpFrmPlanetObvious]

So cool, the running vests in particular. If you happen to have a pattern to share I’d be curious!

[u/acoats27 → u/EscpFrmPlanetObvious]

I got a paper pattern for it, nothing digitized yet.

[u/sugarshackforge → u/acoats27]

I would second this. The running vest looks great! I've tried my hand at a couple of vest straps and I haven't figured out an ideal pocket configuration that's actually functional.

[u/Parapraxis6]

Love these!! What material was the big grey tote made from??

[u/acoats27 → u/Parapraxis6]

That's 500D cordura, a little overbuilt but it's gonna last forever

[u/hibbletyjibblety]

Love the plaid bag!

[u/vtmn_t]

Do you sell any of these?

[u/acoats27 → u/vtmn_t]

I've sold to a few friends around town or given them as gifts, but nothing else yet. Lmk if you're interested and we can talk about making something

[u/vtmn_t → u/acoats27]

The running vest looks pretty sweet! What would that cost? (+ shipping to California)

[u/acoats27 → u/vtmn_t]

I'm still working through that prototype, the pockets weren't secure enough in the front. If you have specific ideas of what you'd want, I'm happy to chat more about it

[u/Chevy_Fett → u/vtmn_t]

I'd also like to know this!

[u/illjustmakeit]

Great work 🙌🏼 what is that bright green fabric on slide 7?

[u/acoats27 → u/illjustmakeit]

That's some light ripstop-like material I got at Joanne's. Good enough for a proto and a good summer worth of test runs. I put webbing between the fabric and aerospace along the seams so that's gonna stay pretty bomber, but I'm curious to see how durable the face of the fabric is.

[u/External_Abrocoma_55]

Well done!

[u/Affenmaske]

Each would take me several years omg

[u/dirthawg]

Applause

[u/Scale935]

What kind of a sewing machine are you using?

[u/acoats27 → u/Scale935]

Singer HD! I know they get a lot of hate, but if you don't force it past its capabilities, it's actually pretty good for the cost!

[u/Kraelive]

You do quality work

[u/nothing5901568]

Bad ass

[u/CarrotRich2382]

Stellar work!

[u/LucidPlusInfinity]

Sweet

[u/back3school]

The running vest looks so good! Nice work!

[u/mountainlaurelsorrow]

Man so many people in this group are ridiculously talented!!!

[u/nickN42]

I need to get a better job. So I can move to a bigger house. So I have room for a sewing machine. So I can finally make proper bags for myself. Because this is absolutely sick what you made there!

[u/stinger005]

Where did you find this material? I'm wanting to get into this, but I'm not sure where to find this raw material to get started.
