This is a simple project for beginners. You will need a piece of silnylon or cuben, some small cord, a small toggle, and a small safety pin. Directions are the same, in this example I am using some .51 cuben. Like most sewing projects you will make this inside out.
Step 1
Decide what size sack you want to make. Then add 2" to the height(add 2-1/2 for silnylon) and double the width and add 1/2" for cuben and 1" for silnylon. Cut out the material with a hot knife if you have one to minimize unraveling.
Step 2
Make the draw cord tunnel. Fold the two corners of the top inward 1-1/2" to make two triangles. Sew down the vertical edge. Then fold the top edge down 1/4". Then fold down again until the top is even with the bottom of the stitched triangles. Now stitch all the way across thru the 1/4" fold.
Step 3
Fold the two side together and sew 1/4" inside for cuben and about an 1" for silnylon. Next flatten the bag out and for cuben sew another row of stitching next to the first. For sil… [Read More]
