As it looks so easy, why did I fail : A/ You are outrageously good at what you are doing B/ I am more than bad at this C/ A and B D/ answer D A clue : my tension is always too high (or my thread too thin) 😉 Thanks for sharing from France👍
I love it when Eric personally hosts these tutorials, he's lowkey hilarious. In the middle of a masterful technical assembly, just busts out the most relatable, lighthearted "these scissors are crap," I laughed so hard. Thanks man, keep up the good work.
I know this is old, but I just wanted to say I've made a few of these bags and 92 inches is really long, so I would see how its fits the person before tying it. It's a great bag though!
Must be awesome to go to the warehouse and just pull whatever you need for a project! Lol! I love this…as always a very well made and useful product…i’m making a few out of old sailcoth and sunbrella but look forward to new drawstring backpacks!
Interesting! This just came on my feed. I had a 1933 Industrial Singer with walking foot but it had a clutch motor. I couldnt get used to it. Gave to a leather worker. I make similar drawstrings bags from tshirts and jeans. I tried lining either but had not thought to make my drawstring part a separate one layer piece. I lined the entire bag then made a channel but didnt pull in enough with now 4 layers of material. My tshirt bags I just do one layer as the hikers here want something light anyway. Or its just a novelty as I buy the local graphic tourist tshrits of the area at the thrift store depiciting fishing or the mountains. I do line the tshirts if I make a tote or hobo style bag. Someone gave me a ton of not used 70s gaberdine. I actually stop my side stitching about 6" from the top and fold the side edge in like you did and stitch it down. Then fold down the casing and sew across each side. I also just leave a space in the corners and poke my ends back into the bag from the right side and stitch back and forth across them. I will try this separate casing method so I can line my drawstring bags better. Love the sailrite machine but Im too old to get one now!
Thanks for sharing your experience with the 1933 Industrial Singer! It's always interesting to hear about different sewing techniques and materials used in bag making. I'm glad you found the video helpful!
