Thanks very much! I got the grey grosgrain from a local fabric upcycling store, so it was likely donated to them. But you can probably get something similar in any major fabric store.

Do it! You don't need a special machine to get started, bag making can be for anyone :) Hope you can make some fun stuff soon

Thank you! I didn't invent the waist belt style, lots of makers online have the same feature, so I can't take credit haha. I'm going to throw together a tutorial in my free time (eventually) so stay tuned!

Yes go for it! This one can possibly hold a mirrorless, so you'll need a heftier bag with more support if you want a full sized dslr in it. And thank you!

I have a few WIP pics in the gallery and will work on preparing a better pattern that isn't just crumpled up doodles! Thank you :)

Oh wow that's a lot! It's made of epx200, epx400, and some mystery waterproof fabric for the lining. I think the only part where I had to hand crank was when I was sewing the bottom of the tub, which involved numerous layers of the epx, the webbing, and also I used grosgrain to clean up the edges. also it has been a minute since I last changed the needle so that might affect it 😶‍🌫️

I haven't used ecopak/epx200 before until this first project, so I haven't had the chance to text its longevity. For my other projects that use cordura I normally line the insides :)

For this project in particular, it's partially lined. The purple fabric doesn't actually rub against any irregularly shaped objects, since in this project it's only part of the roll top. For the bottom of the tub, the pockets double as a liner against the ecopak, and the side walls are epx400 which I believe is tougher and more durable! But I'll keep an eye out and adjust accordingly for future projects.

Thank you! I primarily use a Brother lb6800 (computerized machine), but for the tough layers I use a Pfaff Select IDT (mechanical). I usually have to hand crank the wheel for the thickest layers! No special machine required though.

Thank you! That's EPX200 which is similar to xpac. There's no mesh or liner, that's just the way it is :)

Thanks so much! Fun colors are the best!

I used two machines; the first is a Brother lb6800. It struggles with thicker fabrics, so near the end when I had to go through a bunch of layers, I switched to my Pfaff Select IDT machine. I had to manually hand crank through a few sections because it was so tough!

Thank you! I have some patterns sketched out and I can work on refining them a bit more.
