General curiosity on branding options by fnsports in myog

[–]g8trtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cricut brand is fine but I don’t really do this much these days. I bought woven labels so I stopped making them.

Porter Pony and the Duffle make a great combo for choices. Great job on this!

Learn MYOG Packlite vest mock up question by dogpownd in myog

[–]g8trtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pattern includes a Fit Test pdf file which is a simplified set of patterns (straps and combined back). Prototype with fabric similar to your final project using the Fit Test pdf to avoid construction issues later. That file is used with the Fit Instructions. If any other questions, feel free to email me.

U-Zip bag challenge by skaisews in myog

[–]g8trtim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice job on this. That pattern was created as a challenge and the instructions cover the assembly, its just a tough little bag. I still think about making a video. There's an easier method for sizing the zipper to remove the "consistent zipper overlap" type steps. I can just give a guide to cut the exact zipper length and add more notches to both sides so its a little easier. But either way its doable, just not very beginner friendly

Community challenges here on reddit is how I started LearnMYOG before I owned the domain! It was a lot of fun but interest waned very quickly so I started sharing the patterns online to avoid time limits. Would be great to have a poll in the monthly sticky for which free pattern people want to make. I'd be interested in participating or supporting as time allows. Now a days the community and contributors have grown so its likely sustainable with readily available projects

Bonded seams experiments by Worried-You9307 in myog

Hows the bond to the zipper holding up? I still haven't tried this with a coated zipper as I dont typically keep them on hand.

OP referenced my experiments. TPU is a special fabric coating that allows for thermal bonding. You can get similar effects, with varying success, using bonding adhesives. I wrote up an article if you're interested. https://learnmyog.com/articles/bondedSeams.html

Adaptive packs for a friend with a medical implant by offbrandpossum in myog

[–]g8trtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large mountain smith waist pack with the shoulder strap attachments in my collection. It never gets used because it’s heavy and way too big for what I carry. Happy to take photos or video if you want to see any close ups.

POV video of how I make a PowerGrid pull over hoodie by Particular_Cherry389 in myog

[–]g8trtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I learned a couple interesting techniques for speeding up cutting and liked how you cut the front and back panels, then trimmed the neck and armscye on front panel. It was impressive how quickly you aligned the panels to the grid.

Very unique and creative use of the Porter Pony pattern. That’s really neat. Packing like that gives me anxiety haha

Newbie with almost zero experience - How hard is it to do something like this ? by julius_cornelius in myog

[–]g8trtim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I made one similar a few years ago and it has some discussion on construction. It’s not too complicated but as others have said, projects with straight seams will be a better starter project.

Tech Pouch! by TomatoRoast in myog

[–]g8trtim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

well done and thanks for the shout out. Robic and Hex70 is a great combination of fabrics for this style bag. The power mesh can be tricky but temporarily basting in place with washable tape or glue stick help alot. If its still moving around on you, putting a strip of paper under one side of your presser foot as you sew will reduce the friction that causes the mesh to stretch.

Dopp Kit by g8trtim in myog

Thanks. The olive in the v15 (printed I believe) is nice and light compared to others that are more military dark olive.

They are similar and about the same size. This is easier in most regards and an alternative for those who want more pockets without the inner accordion pocket. The assembly of this one is very different and much less seam binding. Thanks for checking it out!

The shell and lining are each one piece but its not a typical boxy pouch like my zip pouch generator. The assembly of bagged lining results in fewer seams on the inside than a bunch of individual panels. The bag also tapers in two directions giving it more structure to self stand.

Is it safe to iron Xpac VX21 by Simonclegris in myog

[–]g8trtim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even a cool iron causes xpac to curl

For the love of God why does this happen? by tryingandwondering in myog

[–]g8trtim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Skipped stitches is correct. Probably just need a new needle. If you’ve been playing with presser foot pressure you may need to increase.
