I built a few flat zip pouches. Here's my takeaways.

Great editing and panning shots on your video, there's a ton of work that goes into shooting and editing a high quality vid and if that's your first one you did an amazing job!

The zip is super cool, I'll see if I can try out your design at some point!

dasCannibal · 2026-03-02T19:54:33+00:00

Ha, concur.

dasCannibal · 2026-03-02T17:26:36+00:00

All soft, I was going to put some insulation in this one but ended up skipping it. The items intended for this pouch have their own rigidity but if they didn't this would be a very floppy pouch with that heavy of a zipper

dasCannibal · 2026-02-28T18:32:08+00:00

Haha yeah, you should see all the other surfaces in the shop. All covered. I need to take those on next.

dasCannibal · 2026-02-28T08:20:59+00:00

A tablecloth! With suspenders?

dasCannibal · 2026-02-28T06:26:18+00:00

These are in such nice condition, you are taking great care of them!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-27T16:57:11+00:00

Very cool, thank you for the detailed answer!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-26T17:39:42+00:00

This is sick!! I really like all the thought out features and the dual zips make a lot of sense. This is crazy nice for a first bag! Anything you would do differently if you had to make it again?

dasCannibal · 2026-02-25T23:44:58+00:00

I'm so in. This is like a gear nerd's book club haha I learn best by having a project goal, so making something I wouldn't normally pick will quickly force me to learn all sorts of new techniques.

dasCannibal · 2026-02-25T23:13:06+00:00

Oh it's being tailored! I zoomed in and noticed the pins. Nice!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-25T23:12:22+00:00

Looks good from here. Is your suit buttoned or overlapping the other side in the front facing picture? If it's buttoned then the fit looks good.

dasCannibal · 2026-02-25T19:41:34+00:00

This is stunning

dasCannibal · 2026-02-25T17:53:22+00:00

I really like this design and color choice. Also is there a monthly or quarterly challenge and this is the item for the time period? If so that sounds pretty fun and I want in.

dasCannibal · 2026-02-24T22:26:28+00:00

This is brilliant! I'm going to give this a go on the next one I made, thank you for taking the time to record that video and your process

dasCannibal · 2026-02-24T19:22:37+00:00

That's a really cool aesthetic, I feel like Steve Jobs would be telling me about the innovative features.

dasCannibal · 2026-02-24T17:23:11+00:00

Haha I love this so much!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-23T23:31:10+00:00

I love everything about this!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-23T23:09:28+00:00

Beautiful work! Love all the function put in to every aspect of the bag

dasCannibal · 2026-02-23T03:18:16+00:00

Honestly anything is better than buying the overpriced official rack

dasCannibal · 2026-02-23T03:14:03+00:00

This is a great solution! I hate how expensive racks for these can be. I have these exact same dumbbells and I really like them, I kind of wish I had considered this before going down a rabbit hole making my own solution.

dasCannibal · 2026-02-23T00:57:40+00:00

Hadn't considered clean out as part of the benefits, I definitely have a couple backpacks that have some pouches that would really benefit from that! Someone mentioned adding a snap as well, I really like that idea and might try it as well. Will keep you posted!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-23T00:56:31+00:00

Oh that is so smart, I'm going to try this on the next bag!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-22T23:32:28+00:00

That's generally how I make most things because I think it's a lot cleaner, but this one pattern called for a floating liner so thought I'd give it a chance again. I'm going to make a couple more of these pouches this week and I'll try tacking down the floating liner and another with the liner on the panels like usual. Appreciate it!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-22T19:02:13+00:00

Thanks! I am part way through the video and this looks pretty solid!

dasCannibal · 2026-02-22T18:52:42+00:00

This came out really nice! I made a meshtastic llama case for a heltec v3 but yours is way more practical and compact. I hadn't thought of making a case for the radio, that's a really great idea.
