  • My 4 week Scandinavia Vacation is coming to an end and here is the last, simplest and probably most underestimated project I made for this trip. A dry bag that I made from an old banner. I don't have a lot of sewing experience but still this was simple to make in a day. Its super useful to have a bag that is not super valuable and that can be used for collecting firewood, storing laundry or that keeps your towels dry on a paddle trip. enjoy the video!

    Laura, On a recent project I used HH-66 vinyl cement. It creates a permanent, waterproof seal. Might look into it. It would let you make a bag that will never leak as with sewed seams. Let glue dry. :)

    • @photomattmills
      @photomattmills 3 года назад +5

      Barge glue (in the US) or contact cement with a strip of vinyl would also work; just make your own seam tapes with the same material and glue them over the sewn seams.

I've also made rain bags for my dogs packs which works wonderful for my Rottweiler who can't pass a water source without going in no matter the season.

      I have to agree that I was a little surprised to see a round bottom bag made of such material qualified as an easy project but I guess I really depends on the type of Machin you own.
      Hers seems to have the fabric pulled from over with the walking foot and simultaneously from underneath which makes it less Tricky.
      I used to do 8 sided bases on a lot off bag before I managed to have the right skills and tool to perform round one.
      It look nice and can bring a touch of modernity on some bags

    VERY well done, and great storytelling as always.
    Next time, you might want to consider doing all the straps (and the velcro closure) when the panel is •flat•, then sew the cylinder seam and lastly sew the bottom in. Sewing things onto the panels of a stiff bag as the last process is a bit of a stuggle (as I'm sure you found out).

    That spalted wood could have been vacuum-soaked with resin then turned into something nice (knife handles, a cup, coasters). You might want to try it some time.
    For this project, I'd have used an adhesive sold by Bison called liquid rubber. I used it to glue some pond liner to make a portable outdoor shower, and it's insanely strong. Oddly enough, it doesn't delaminate even from the smooth and rubbery surface of the pond liner. My feeling is it creates stronger bonds than sewing on materials that have no or minimal texture, that are prone to ripping or tearing. And the seals it creates are 100% watertight.
