- In this sewalong tutorial, I show the step-by-step construction of a Bikepacking Stem Bag. Also commonly called a Feed Bag, pairing these up on your handlebars makes for easy access to snacks, electronics, and sunscreen for those long tours or gravel rides. This popular pattern is free on my website and a great project to use up small scraps and is easily customized to match the colors of your retro ride.

I just made one following your instructions. Turned out so great! Thank you!
Not being a sewer I tried this and it worked! Totally impressed with the instructions and the end product.
Thank you for very informative videos!
thanks a lot for the great tutorial!
Nice video. Thank you for sharing. You have a wonderful day. Take care, and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks for the kind words. Working on my next video and pattern release so see you soon!
So good. Great instruction too.
I’ve recently made a frame bag and was literally about to just buy a set of these but you made this look doable. Thank you
Very well presented. I'll rummage through my fabrics looking for suitable pieces and do this.
Excellent video! Thank you so much.
👍👍
Well done 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great!
These videos are great, will definitely make this project sometime as a starter! Thanks.
You never did right?
@@twintyara6330 I've done a tone of other projects instead!
@@WalkerBikes Nice
Thanks!
Now make! 🙏
Thank you!:)
Welcome!
Dude! I love You man! I was about to make that kind of a project. Thanks! :) Good job! :)
4h later - bag is done :) Bottom is very tricky indeed, but i was able to make it thanks to Your instructions. Again - good job :)
Glad to hear it! Next one will be half that time and by your third, the circular bottom won’t be so tough. Just takes practice.
sleduji videa s návodem jak ušít Stembag, tvoje video patří mezi nejlepší, krásná práce, zdravím Jura z České republiky
thank you
Aaaand time! I've made one, yay! My first ever sewing project! I used neoprene and lined it with silnylon. I didn't know what "laminated" means when ordering materials, so I learned that I want it to be laminated on both sides, the hard way...
I used one side pure neoprene, one side laminated with jersey/nylon.
But me and my mom (thanks, mom!) managed to handle it anyways. With a bit of hand sewing because two layers of neoprene was too much for our machine. It also couldn't transport the non-laminated pure rubber side.
Learned a lot!
Thanks for the pattern, materials list and tutorial, Mister LearnMYOG!
Awesome! sounds like you learned a ton and hopefully have a functional piece of gear!
@@LearnMYOG yes and yes! (I'm gonna see when it falls apart 😁)
Nice
👍
Genial.❤
Made my first bag from your tutorial. Great job with clear directions. Will get better at putting in the bottom. Did fairly well for the first one, but not perfect. Used recycled tent material for the collar and liner, and a screen for the side pocket. We shall see how long that lasts. Will make more! Thanks for the video!! I'd send pics, but can't figure out where to upload on your website??
Glad to hear you were able to make a functional bag using the video! Circle bottoms are tough but oh so satisfying. Just takes practice to get good at them. You can tag me in story or posts on Instagram or Reddit
Congrats on almost hitting 1k subs! I enjoyed this, nice job on the video - thanks for sharing! I'm nearly done with a video on a stem bag myself and interestingly, although the end result is arguably very similar, our construction methods could not be more different!
Thanks! Been trying to up my production game 😊. Look forward to seeing your process in making one similar.
if it makes putting the bottom on any easier, I'm interested in seeing your video.

hello; out of curiosity, have you uploaded your video? I'd like to see the comparison of construction methods!! thanks!!!
This is awesome, I think I'm going to try to make a few for some close friends. Any tips to share on recycling materials? I have some older polyester/vinyl bags & fabric that could be repurposed, obviously they won't be as waterproof or awesome as the X-pac. TIA
Just use what you have on hand
Thought about construction, is there a reason you couldn't build the outside, stitch the collar on, tuck the collar around the outside of the body, insert the finished liner, stitch it on and then bind that inside seam with grosgrain?
I guess it might be a little bit bulky inside, but that would work right?
I'm thinking about making one without a collar as well and that seemed like the most obvious way to construct it.
Yes it could. Most people put the seam on the outside of the bag not inside. So the collar can easily fold into the bag.
Questions here, Im looking both on your website and on the PDF and trying to match up the materials. The amounts needed and the types of materials. On the PDF what type of material do you use for " Light weight cord channel fabric, 40 x 12 cm" Just trying to make a shopping list and want to get it all straight. THANKS FOR the Video and all the great info on your wedsite :)
Hey, really anything lightweight that cinches easily will work. Ripstop nylon, silnylon, similar polyester, taffeta nylon, hex70, etc are all viable options. I used a cheap Nylon oxford cloth that is pu coated 200d and about as stiff as I’d recommend for a cinch collar.
@@LearnMYOG Thank you :)
what do you use for the stretch binding and why isn't it included in the materials listed?
FOE. Use whatever binding you want or hem the pocket. Its up to you how you finish your raw seams.
Hey I want to start a sewing project with some X-Pac very similar to this one, and you mentioned near the end that you shouldn't topstitch X-Pac. What is the reason behind this?
Bc it adds more holes for water to enter
@@LearnMYOG Oh I see, thanks for the answer!
An inch is 25.4mm, not 3mm. But the video was excellent!
Good catch. Meant to say 3cm not 3 mil.
I have a sewing machine for making clothes, can it be used to sew bags?
sure just don't push the limits. bent or broken needles or motor strain are signs you're trying to sew materials too heavy for the machine.
what is the utility of the liner? I'm new to this
Makes the bag cleaner on the inside, without the liner you have seams visible. You can bind them but they are still visible. With the liner, especially assembled in this manner, the whole bag has a much more finished appearance.
