How to make your own frame bag for bikepacking 

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Obviously 20 professional seamstresses disliked this video because they could do a much better job but forgot to make a video of it.

viděl jsem tohle video jako novinku před 11lety, už tehdy jsem si říkal, že si taky ušiji brašnu, tohle video bylo pro mě takový vstup do šití, od té doby jsem si ušil několik brašen, rád se sem vracím

Awesome video.. i remember watching this years ago and created my own bike frame bag shortly after it. Best video on youtube.

Thanks for the great video. I made two for mine and my wife's Surly Lht bikes. We are both adventure cyclist and these are just what we needed.

I actually saw this and my mom and I are now working on making a frame bag as well as a top tube bag. Thanks for posting.

Wow. That was incredible. I wish I had the skills to put together such quality work.

You sure make it look easy! Nice bag! Waterproof zippers too ! Fantastic!

Thanks for making this video it help me out a lot and let me make my own frame bag's for my Big Dummy.This was only the start of making all of my bag's.The internet rock's for me.Thanks again for this well done video.

Good design, good execution, good bag. GOOD JOB!!

YIOU ARE A GENIUS! i was searching for one frame bag and i found not cheaper than 160$ !!!!!!! thank you so much!

Thanks for this video! Watched it a few years ago and finally used it (along with a few other resources) to sew a bag for my 2017 Kona Unit! Cheers from Ottawa Canada!

Your bag looks sharp. Thanks for sharing the build.

Great Video!! Thanks so much for showing how its done. Making one for my road bike. Bought a cheap ripstop backpack from walmart for 10 bucks, cut it apart and make the size/shape I want. Thanks again!!! Well done!!!

Awesome! Just bought a bag off your site. Which is incredible by the way. Seamless experience.

10 out of 10 . Well done and thanks for sharing and making look so easy.

You nailed it, Dude! Good job for real!

Holy smokes!!! That is an awesome creation mate!!! I would buy it hands down :-)

Thanks for the bluegrass in the background. I also listen to bluegrass music when I sew!

That’s a superb bag. Well done.

That is one hell of a good job Sir!

This is pretty dope! Thanks for making a video... I hope to try making one in the near future.

Dude. I just stumbled onto this video. I really have no interest in making one but your video was so well made I just sat and watched the whole thing. Good job man. Well done

sweet build mate, looks great!

awesome video! im gonna try and make my first bike bag this was super helpful!

Very nice work looks super professional!

Great job, I hope to get some bikepacking in this summer also!

Used your video and made one for myself. Love it. After a bikepacking trip I had no regrets except that i wished I had tapered the bottom corner of the bag. The cogs on the crank caught it every once in a while and made a small hole. Thanks for the instructions!

you are very good, I like when people do something on their own. job well done.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

You make it look so easy.

Yo that came out really good. I'll need to make a nice custom half frame bag myself. Thanks for the video.

Still the best video on how to sew a frame bag. Wow.

Thanks for Uploading :D That looks great!

Looks great!

turned out awesome!

Fantastic tutorial!

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow, looks amazing :-)

Great work👍

Thanks a really helpful video that will stand test of time !!

Oh boy I need some sewing lessons lol, awesome job looks great and very practical. 👍

Great, thank you very much. Will do one myself in the upcoming weeks.

Well done, thanks for the video!

Wow, good work!

Nice one ! Thanks for the cool video.

Awesome! I wanna do this now!

Aesome work! I am making my own right now out of old inner Tube and an old tire for the side wall, i hope it Turnus out as good as yours

Great job 👍🏼

don´t know if i´m going to make one some day, but it´s really a great thing!!

SOUNDTRACK: Ray LaMontagne. Very detailed job! (bag and video). thnx!

Very neat and detalied!!

Nice work mate:)

Nice job!

Amazing framebag! I just bought it as finished product for 39 euros because it was cheaper compared to making it myself (with tools that are needed to sew it).

Awesome! Looks like rocket science to me tbh

Nice work.

great video. thanks

Pretty damn good!

Nice. Thanks man!

I had made a smaller frame bag about 2yrs ago thats still serving me well ...and I had used the materials from an old piece of black luggage we were throwing out anyway. Including the zipper, final COST was $0 dollars and about 2-3 hrs of my time.

Top job.

very impressive

Thanks for this super helpful video! Love the cool little loop you added to help to open and close the zipper. Did you also buy this from Rockywoods?

wow! bravo!

Awesome video, thanks. What kind of thread do you use on the machine?

I love it when men can sew. That turned out great. Good job! =0)

I think you did a marvelous job on that bag. I live in Colorado and would love to hire you to make me a bag if possible.

That came out really great! It is an advanced project though. Any tips (sites, videos, etc) for where a beginner should start out?

I built the same design but added an outside pocket and rain flap to cover the zipper and my added pocket I didn’t make mine fill the entire triangle. I brought mine down about 11 inches. I also added reflective material on the sides just to highlight the bike in traffic,

Great vid, what sewing machine do you use? Love to give it a try.

I'm planning to try my hand on this, but with tarp material (like tent groundsail or ikea frakta bag). Do you think that would work?

nice work! personally, I prefer Tex90 bonded polyester thread (poly has better UV resistance than nylon) and I try to stick with a 1/2 inch seam allowance on all outdoor gear. Xpac is great stuff, I wish it wasn't so pricey...

,Thatks alot , very helpful , do you think you can make a saddle bag?

Thank for sharing I am about to make my own ,did you use a special sewing machine ,or any would do?

How many yards of ripstop material did you need for this bag? Thanks and this looks great by the way.

It looks great! So how has this worked out, would you build it the same if you made it again?

Awesome video, and thanks for sharing! Can someone please let me know what kind / model of sewing machine will work for such projects? I'm totally new in this.

Do you have any advies on how to sew the corners over the bag? I really struggle with them, especially when i sew on the back panel; The fabric in the corners will bunch up and get all crooked due to the tension. Btw nice bag

awsome , I am going to add a couple of d rings and stoe a strap and also use it as a sling bag

How did you sew through the zipper teeth when you sewed on the trim piece?

Very nice.... where did you get the waterproof zipper?

REALLY REALLY GREAT JOB!!!! :-) I would like to be able to. But I don't.

Totally amazing.

How many linear yards of the x-pac do you think you used for this bag?

any links to materials vendors that you purchase your supplies from? Thanks.

I like bikepacking. In the desert, it is impt to carry a lot of water. So, if I were to make a pack, I would make it to carry hydration bladders for water.

genius!

Damn, nice.

I can't keep the xpac vx21 from curling up any ideas on keeping it flat

Who is the band playing at about 3.30?

@iksnyzrog You could probably do this project with a half a yard. I might get a full yard just in case.

which sewing machine did you use for this?

You sewed the two panels together with the divider. In the next scene the panels are separeted.... I don't understand? In which order did you fix the divider with the panels?

Thats awesome, I'm going to scale down the idea so I can go packless on longer epic rides on my MTB, how do you carry water on this set up?

were you listening to Joy Kills Sorrow in this?

Wow !

Everyone remember to seal your seams!

What machine are you sewing with here? Always thought I would need something industrial or the old heavy duty Singer. Nice work.

which thread do you use?

which fabric do you use?
