Sewing A Removable Pocket Organizer (for a backpack)
HTML-код

- Hi!
I recently made another roll top backpack and tried a different pocket design. In this video, I show you how I made a removable pocket organizer to keep small items from spilling out or collecting on the bottom of the pocket.
A lot of information can be found in my DIY backpack tutorial series -

THERE ARE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN THIS VIDEO. I'm sorry, it's annoying, and I've tried everything I can to no avail. I hope the content is worth the annoyance.
For anyone who has any ideas: I shot this on a
It does not detract from the overall content so no biggie for me.
I did not notice any technical issues, and I have very low vision.
Love your kitty buddy and excellent helper ;-))
I'm not sure if you chose orange for this project or if it's just what was handy/available, but long before I lost my vision, I cursed any company that made purses or totes that that chose black, navy or any other very dark color for the interiors/lining -- awful for locating anything inside, and also they seem to avoid a design where everything is not gently launderable, and/or removable for washing.
This has been a hot button for me for decades, not just regarding low vision, or with the very recent virus inconvenience [long backstory of mine, way too long to share here]; let's just reference my life since 1981: EHC-Dallas, et al.
While orange is my least favorite color for fabric or paint, it does help in this and similar circumstance, for visibility in general.
For manufacturers of electronics [mostly critical info done in black, in tiny font size, placed on identical black plastic housing] and that includes tvs, computers and medical devices, since the 1980s and even older. In my dreams I envision anyone who ever thought that up should be taken to a dark alley out back and appropriately punished LOL.
Hi! Good points, thanks for sharing.
I've been a proponent of bright colors in bag interiors pretty much since I started trying to make the things.
I have reasonably good eyesight, but have reached the age where readers are more of a necessity than an option, and I frequently find myself wondering what manufacturers were thinking when they size the font of placards, instructions etc. To the extent that I can, I feel your pain.
One of my first "real" backpacks had a bright green interior. I'm thinking of re-visiting that soon :)
Thanks for being part of the channel!
Wasn't too distracting, so no worries. Looks like export compressions problems. Next time you have a glitch like that in the file you can see if you can export JUST THAT PART of the video and see if the glitch is still there. Or cover that part that's giving you problems with something just for a test (some other footage). If it's still there, try creating a new project and importing only the part of the footage that's giving you that error. The more you narrow it down, the more things you can eliminate (maybe you have applied an effect that gives you a render error, etc) and ultimately it might be that there was something wrong with the files itself (unlikely - but "worst things have happened to better people" rule always applies!).
Dollar store cutting board is a great idea! Love seeing Bobbin
Thanks! Yeah, shooting videos in my work space is great, but not having random cat interference takes a little of the fun out of it.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for sharing your ideas. I did something similar to have lots of organization within a super cheapo "there's nothing expensive in here" backpack I use while traveling.
You've given me many ideas and tips, so I'll throw one of mine out to you.
In the process of making heavy duty pouches and pockets for the tool vests I make, I came up with a good stiffener. I use green plastic yard sale signs from Lowes. I fasten the plastic between 2 layers of material with 3M Super 77 contact adhesive.
My machine for these projects is a Singer 212 industrial walking needle machine, but an old Singer would probably work.
That's a great idea, thanks for sharing!
The kitty interlude is hilarious and adorable. Cool tutorial!
I wish I would have found this a month ago when I was trying to teach myself to sew masks and tried to break up the monotony and made an wrench roll style EDC organizer.
Great stuff!!
I saw your tool roll and apron on Instagram, good stuff! I've been wanting to make a tool roll for the tools I keep in my truck for a couple of years, I need to get around to that!
You should def get the Diresta Ice Pick, I love mine and use it way more than I thought I would.
I actually really want one, I just haven't pulled the trigger on it. I should do that!
The how to is very usefull, but let me prioritize the cat content. Never enough cuddly cats. 😻
Thank you! Bobbin thinks this is his RUclips channel. He just lets me share it with him :)
@@thejasonofalltrades i guess is IS his youtube channel. at least there has to be a bobbin in every video where there is a sewing machine :).
I just love the kitty "help" then you take the time to love on him. I have the exact same shop experience with my cat. Awesome.
Excelente trabajo felicitaciones y gracias por compartir saludos desde loja Ecuador
Other cheap stiffeners are plastic folders and trapper keeper dividers
I love your sewing projects, especially when the cat randomly shows up. lol
Enjoyed your tutorial. Have you ever made a tutorial for a sling backpack? Thank you!
Thanks!
I haven't done a sling pack specifically, but I did a fanny pack/waist pack that is pretty similar, you might want to check that out.
Thanks for watching!
A great little project. Only really obvious glitch happens about 2:49 :) Your content is always worth catching. And, yes, conscious of covid-19 north of 49 degrees. YVR
Thanks Lou! Stay safe up there!
Very good!
I like the idea of a removable organizer. I might give that a try.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks Keefe!
Clean and quick. I like it :)
that turned out great! I'm going to make one for my hip pouch. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks friend. Gonna use this same idea for smaller pocket organizers :)
I actually like visual glitches in this tutorial.
Cool vid man, thanks!
Nice to see the 1200 running, such a great machine.
Thanks! Yeah, I really love that thing.
nice !!
Pretty snazzy stuff. Could you please include thread type/ size and needle size with the material at hand. I'm still a newbie....love the projects, I've learned a lot from you in the past couple of months! Keep up the vids😁
Hi,
Sorry, I often forget when making these videos that most people haven't watched every video I've ever made, so I keep forgetting to repeat things like thread and needle choices. :)
I almost exclusively use bonded nylon thread in size V69 (aka T70). Needles tend to be in the 70-110 size range. I'm honestly not that picky about needles.
Thanks for watching and commenting, and let me know anytime you have questions!
Always great ideas man. Stay safe down your way.
Thanks JP, you too!
I so want to make something like that. Thanks for this super helpful video!
Great tutorial, I especially appreciate cat content and old sewing machine 😍 Also, is your cat really called Bobbin? Hilarious 😂
Thank you!
And yes, his name really is Bobbin, although he has about 11 other names, too 😂
Thanks for watching and commenting!
great video! I guess I will be sewing the front pocket/pouch thing for pens and multitools and whatever a little bit wider with a bit more fabric than the backpiece to prevent it curving like yours des; this would annoy me a bit and its knid of wasted space. Currently figuring out how to shape pouches the way I want them to anyway, so this is a nice learning lesson you gave me there.
Hi Jason, liked the tune from deliverance. Glad you two are well. Franny and I were having conversations yesterday about moving to Florida. We need to catch up. Must pet me human (says Bobbin)! Heidi
I’m hoping to make something like this for work! We wear coveralls and everything always gets lost in the top pockets. Plus we need to empty the pockets every time we need to wash the coveralls. You may call me lazy but taking a pouch out would be far more desirable than taking out a dozen or so tools 😂
That sounds like a great application for something like this. Let us know how it turns out!
Oh the knee lift! Jealous
Deliverance!
Form and function!
2 for $1 stiffener - I find it a good size and cheap.
Thanks Dokk! I'll probably be buying more.
Thank you Bobbin❤❤
Thx for the great idea...you've inspired me to try making one!
Also, love your kitters! What a sweetheart 💕🥰
Thank you! Yeah, Bobbin (the cat) is the best.
Thanks for watching!
Coming back from the future, to say glitches are no problem and I actually enjoy seeing people use vintage machines. I bought a Nechhi BU a few months back and changing from a modern 'computerized' machine to one that doesn't try to hold your hand much provides more of a learning curve than I was expecting. We get along fine now but watching you sew with your Singer reassured me that I'm doing things just fine. Also, did you figure out your bobbin tension issue? I'm seeing some similar stuff with my Necchi and wondering if there are some more parts I should be replacing.
Hi Cole!
I haven't used that machine since I made this video, but my suspicion is that the tension spring on the bobbin case is weakened from age and use, and needs to be replaced. It should be a simple operation. I'm currently up to 17 machines, though, and some of them only get used sporadically, so I'll probably only remember that I need to do that next time I use it and have tension issues lol!
I like idea and the final product but my ocd on making all the stitches perfect was driving me nuts on this vid nonetheless good video !!!
Great project. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your whole channel. A quick question: how do you figure the size for the top panel of the pockets to achieve room for the stored items? I'm assuming it's larger to create space. And if that's so, how do you sew the extra fabric neatly- with pleats? Thanks so much.
Hi Aaron,
On this particular project, the pockets are just flat, and rely on the non-rigid nature of fabric to create the volume for the items.
Here is an older video of mine that shows a way to do this with more precision. It's an older video, so the audio quality especially isn't great, but I think the information in it might be helpful.

I hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Thanks for another video. I have to say I purchased my 237 after watching your videos and what you can do with it, and I love the machine. One day I will be brave enough to post what I have done with it here.
Anyway, I wanted to ask where you can get the orange fabric. Do you have any pointers?
Rockywoods Fabrics, Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics, The Rain Shed and Seattle Fabrics, among others.
And I'd love to see what you're making! Thanks for watching!
@@thejasonofalltrades This is one bag I just finished, after many months of thinking, planning, learning how to use the Singer 237, failing, trying again, and getting the right materials and thread. Still missing some buckle parts (the male side of the front buckles) and the shoulder pad I plan to make with some velvet. imgur.com/gallery/061ZbIa
The intro has me seeking juggling bag patterns (they are pretty simple so don't really need a pattern) ... Perhaps other viewers would like a quick video making a set though. I used to have a Klutz set several decades ago. ...Edit:ok I did an image search and someone did a design that looks like juggling funny chickens,
I love your cat❤😂
Thank you!
@@thejasonofalltrades I didn't think you'd actually see the comment after so many years for posting the video! 😂
Just wanna say it's a genuine and good video.
First few seconds sealed the deal 👌
Had me rolling 🤣
I'm so excited to see ALLLLL your videos.
New subscriber right here 🥳👋🖖👐👏👀👁🙋♀️🧏♀️🙆♀️🕵♀️🧟♀️🤸♀️🤹♀️🎆
Hey! I am wondering how to attach one to my bag? Do I need the plastic in this case? I need a pouch like this on my Patagonia refugio 26l backpack, since it doesn't have any organixation in the front pocket
Very cool! I liked how it slipped in and out easily from that pocket. Good call with the dollar store cutting board. Did you sew through that cutting board or around it? Nice work ✨🏆☘️☀️
Thanks! I sewed around it, although you definitely should be able to sew through it if desired. As another viewer pointed out, I could have made it a bit smaller to avoid the curling that happened, too. But it works great, so I have no complaints!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
thejasonofalltrades ✨For Sure! Thanks for the great videos 🏆✨
Like your video. Your cat is beautiful.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm a fairly lucky human to have found him.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Your video problems are minor. Very versatile project to do on the weekend.Now that I use hand sanitize spray all the time, the need for a bag with a D hook on it to go on a belt loop would be a nice project!
You know, that's a pretty great idea!
Thanks for watching!
This video makes me feel existentially awkward!
-My name is Jason
-I can juggle
-I am a devoted cat person
-I have a beard and I shave my head
-I have bought lots of fabric from Big Duck and this is exactly the sort of thing I make
Where have you been?!? I've been looking everywhere!
That's hilarious, man. Thanks for the comment!
I have several newer machines, but 99% of the time I’m on either my 15-91 or the 15-88....
Where can I buy that shirt? Love it
You should see a Teespring "shelf" under the video, and there is also a link to my Teespring store in the video description. Thanks!
Where do you get those little clips?
These were given to me by a friend, but they are sold at most sewing retailers and on Amazon. I think Clover Wonder Clips is the brand name, but there are many iterations.
👍. 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
it's not dead space, it's chopstick holders.
How on earth did I fail to think of that! Great point!
I was about to make a mean comment about you showing off your "other skills" till I saw the cat.
who is in the cycling photo behind you?
I think it's Mario Cipollini. It's an old Cannondale poster. My wife and I were standing in front of that poster at a mountain bike festival when we met (20 years ago!), so now we each have a copy in our offices.
@@thejasonofalltrades Ah, Super Mario! Hope your marriage is going better than his :-). Enjoy your vids, Cheers
A little more explaining would be nice.
Hi Grant,
Good point. I'm sorry, I didn't make it as clear as I should have, but a lot of the details I left out of this can be found in my 4-part DIY backpack tutorial (now linked in the video description). I sometimes forget that some viewers may not have already watched every single one of my previous videos lol. Thanks for the reminder!
My thoughts exactly. Jason has great ideas, but for beginners (me) a more detailed explanation would be helpful. It all can be a bit confusing.
Love it, do you have instagram?
I do, same name as the RUclips channel!
Thanks!
is this a cat video
There's a cat in it briefly, does that make it a cat video?
