DIY Stem Bag - MYOG

- čas přidán 20. 06. 2024
- In this episode of zipworks I'm making a DIY bikepacking stem bag, also known as a feed bag. It is the third and final project in the DIY bike bags mini-series having previously made a handlebar bag and a saddle bag. Stem bags are popular not only among bikepackers for good reason, they are provide storage accessible while riding the bike. They are perfectly suited to hold anything from an extra water bottle, to snacks or even a camera. I made it 3x3x7in which I find to be just the right size for me and holds a standard 500 mil bidet just right. It's quite minimal in it's design but allows for fitting on either side of stem because the webbing ladder spans across the sides and back. The front panel holds a small stretchy pocket which I find handy for keeping wrappers until the next bin when they may be discarded. A notably feature is the cyberian cord lock which allows for one handed opening and closing of the cinch collar, a vast improvement over a regular cord lock. The main fabric is once again ballistic nylon, which I find works great for this type of bag because it holds its shape so well. The material is also highly weather resistant and surely can take a lot of beating. The collar is made from 40d ripstop nylon, a robust fabric yet light enough to cinch without hassle. Note that the seam used to close the collar is a french seam. I first put 1/8 in seam wrong sides together and then turn it right sides together and put an 1/4 in seam. This encapsulates the raw edge and makes for a really neat looking seam.
Thanks for watching!

ABOUT

This video is not a tutorial per se. This is how I enjoy documenting a few of my projects, it's not meant as a comprehensive sew-along guide. Some may find it useful to see how I like do things but my hope is primarily that some will find these videos inspiring - sparking creativity and ideas for making their very own bespoke gear. My thinking is that by showing the projects in a fast-paced and light-hearted manner conveys the message that making your own ultralight gear as a hobby is not very difficult and ultimately a very rewarding pursuit.
That said, I realise that some people watching this may want to follow along and some of them will be beginners at sewing. I try my best to not leave any important steps out of the clips but for anyone finding it hard to follow even with a rewatch, leave a comment below and I or someone else in the community may be able to assist.

* For a variety of reasons, I'm not always able to link the exact item used in the video. Sometimes it is no longer sold, sometimes I got something at a local store, not online. Often, I simply forget where I got something in the first place - over the years I have collected tons of MYOG supplies and can longer remember where I got it. In those cases, I will link what I think is the closest equivalent and/or what I would have purchased.

Well done. Not my first stem bag but that's by far the easiest + fastest to be done. Nice job for the pattern !!!
Thanks for the helpful video and pattern. It's far easier than a circle bottom one when working with stiffer/non-stretchy materials. I used a pliable, heavy duty tarp for the base material and modified the pattern to fit a 50 oz PETE bottle for long water carries. Definitely recommend a heftier thread as noted above.
Nice build and easy to use pattern!
Really excited to get a new tutorial from you!
Top level, in everything. From video, to description, to final product. Thank you so much for creating and sharing. Greetings from Lithuania
Great video! I love seeing 2D layouts done in SketchUp. Such a great tool for bag templates
I just finished sewing the saddle bag and stem bag from your tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing, I am very happy with them both 😊
Cool! Thanks for the video.
Great videos!
Thanks! Mine came out great and definitely easier than a four panel version. If I make another, I would widen the external panel.
Great easy pattern, mine came out sweet, also made one a little larger using this pattern design. Cheers
You are really the best. I love you !
Thank you 🙏😇
Thanks for these awesome tutorials. Would you be able to put something together at some point that shows some of the settings, techniques, tips and tricks, etc you use with the sewing machine? This would be for someone with minimal knowledge about how to use a machine for this type of projects. Thank you.
Can see you put a lot of thought into the things you make, really wonderful to see!
awesome!
Your job is awasome and i am learning from you thanks,did you ever thinh about making messenger bag ? This could be awasome
Silly question but is the cinch loop made of shock cord or paracord? I made a similar cinch and used shock cord, and the cyberian cord lock is kinda hard to use. Wondering if it's a difference in quality of my shock cord or if I'm using the wrong thing entirely.
Hi, really nice video, sadly I don't have a bike to use this with... Since I'm starting to sew elastic stuff like the stretchy pocket on your bag in your opinion what is the best way of sewing elastic webbing and fabrics without the double side tape that you have? should I buy it? Thanks for all of the amazing projects that you do and the pattern generator, super useful!
Get the kind of elastic webbing that is designed to be folded over and get some of the tape too, totally worth it
Thx :)
Super nice! I just started making my own projects. Thanks for the inspiration. I have a question, around 3:30, what is the material called you sewed over the edges? Thank you!!
It’s called grosgrain or simply edge binding tape
🔥🔥🔥
This is by far the best video I have seen for stem bags. I want to make the same bag.. What are the dimensions for the fabric pieces? Thank you in advance.
You can see all the dimensions at 0:36 👍
Would really appreciate some info on how to thread the cording through the Cyberian loc, please. Also, do you use a liner with your pattern and are there written instructions please? Thanks in advance.
What presser foot did you switch to for sewing the fold-over elastic? And is that the dissolvable seam tape (magic tape) or normal seam tape? I've always had trouble with elastics.
What size Cyberian lock did you use?
I used the small 👍
Your SSL Cert on your website has expired fyi
Thanks 🙏
What sticking tape u used at 1:40?
It’s called wonder tape!
hello friend I love your videos I'm from Chile, ask in the designs what you do already consider the cm to sew
Hi! Thanks! Are you asking about what seam allowance I use? If so, I typically use 1/4 inch which is about 6mm
@@zipworks Thanks for answering my comment, I wanted to ask about the plans, do you sell them or how can I have them, I'm starting to sew and your designs seem very cool and simple to do.
I see! If you pause the video at 0:36 you’ll see the exact dimensions for this particular project, all you need really. Let me know if you have any questions.
Ameiiiii
I have a sewing machine for making clothes, can it be used to sew bags?
Why is it always black?
I’m on team #allblackeverythingforever 😉
ahoj, chybí interier
What kind of sewing table do you have?
DIY table made from valchromat
@@zipworks cheers. Love all your videos BTW!
