    Thanks for this video. Just finished making one, though I only used ~10 oz cotton duck and a non-industrial machine (Pfaff 130). Still turned out great, the rope in the hem makes a big difference.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад

      That is great, I love hearing that! I have made bags with 10 oz canvas too, it works great for that and lasts too. My backdrop is made from 10 oz canvas, its good. Glad you like the rope, it definitely steps it up a notch. Thanks

    Hi Alexander, Great video thanks for posting it. I made a couple of the tool bags in military grade heavy duty canvas manufactured here in Australia. The tool bags turned out 10 inches wide by 16 inches long. The height was 12 inches reducing to 10.5 after I added the bolt rope at the top. I shortened the outside strap by 3 inches to allow for the bolt rope. Using a 5/8 inch seam allowance the tops of the pockets on the end lined up with the the pocket tops on the side. The end pockets in the video banner image are lower than the side pockets, I guess this was a prototype version of the bag.
    I was pretty much forced to sew the bottom corners using a triple feed 2 inch cylinder arm machine to achieve good tight seams on the bottom corners of the bag. The rest of the bag was done easily on a flatbed triple feed machine, like your Juki 1508. Not sure how one would go making this bag on a plain drop feed machine with thick canvas. I agree that everyone should have a Juki 1508 triple feed.
    Thanks Again Myles

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад

      That is a very informative comment. I gave it a thumbs up. Your project sounds great, you have made a great tool bag and who knows, you may have it for the rest of your life. Those bottom corners are definitely tricky. Again, I really appreciate you taking the time. Oh and prototype, yes, most of the things I make are. \HaHa/

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад +1

      The Juki 1508 is a great machine. I also have a 1541 which look very similar. I am planning on doing a video soon about the differences between the two. Stay tuned and thanks for your comments.

    @The_Distance_111 4 года назад +1

    I just finished this bag. I used 2 or so yards of 36” wide duck with some left over. I added inside pockets using the method in the video with the larger bag with leather handles. It went together fairly easy. I did make one modification to both end panel pockets(at least from what I saw in the video) by moving the pockets panel up higher with just enough of the bottom seam allowance to be sewn under the end sacrifice panel . I did slightly off set the tops of the end pockets with side pockets. You end up with quite a few layers to go through during the final assembly! Regarding the cut list provided: I would cut the inside straps an extra 6 inches longer or so to be sure the doubled up section of the handles can be sewn to the bag. I ended up having shorten the outside handles a bit from the ends to get them to attach properly. It carries well enough with the handles a few inches shorter.
    Awesome project. Great videos.

  • @conishkee
    @conishkee 7 лет назад

    Good gosh, Alex, your machine, being that it's an industrial piece of machinery is phenomenal. For it to be able to get over the bulky areas as it does is awesome! I have a Husqvarna Viking and, although I've tried getting over some bulk areas when I sew, if I don't go slow, which I would normally do, sometimes the motor can't even handle it and it causes my needle to break. Nevertheless, this was a great showing of how you put this bag together and I loved especially the pockets technique. I'm going to try my hand at incorporating that particular feature into a tote bag made with 100% cotton. Thank you so much for sharing.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад

      Yes the machine is cool. These industrial machine allow me to sew things in unorthodox ways. I enjoy that I can dream up something and then be able to do it, it's fun.

    It's such a good design. The dimensions are perfectly practical for a tool bag. Bigger than a lineman's bag, but smaller than a regular tool bag (or so it seems)... I keep watching this video. Where is your shop located in US? M

  • @toobglued
    @toobglued 6 лет назад +2

    Hi nice job, i see you went straight for the serger to tame that canvas, sure does get unruly quickly doesn't it. Surprised your serger table is just short of meeting up with the outfield table to be flush.
    I hear ya about people not wanting to pay the price. SEWING takes FOREVER and an 8oz spool of goretex is damn near $120 ! People don't realize that its not just thread. Let alone some material can be $20-30/yard.
    I make custom LED lights to specifically fit under the harp. Id be happy to send one along.
    I have one on my Juki 5550 and another on the Tacsew.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  6 лет назад

      I used the overlock on the quilted pieces of my back pack. You can see that overlock machine sits @ 6" above the table. I have found it to be very handy to use. It can be seen in my backpack video if your interested.

    Damn it!
    Just as I was engrossed in this video, my wife came through the door unexpectedly.
    I had to insist that I had been trying to find a video of naked women, and that I had not actually searched for a sewing video.
    She thought it was hilarious.
    (Hope the joke doesn't offend anyone - that's what I really said to her).
    Thanks for a great video.
    I have recently been searching local tool shops for strong canvas tool bags.
    Have only found innovative but cheaply made alternatives so far.
    But if I leaned how to fix my wife's sewing machine...

    • @AlexanderDyer

      Sure, I have made bags with thinner, lighter material and they are great too. I would think any duck canvas would good for a bag. Heck, just go for it.

  • @-ZELTHELD-
    @-ZELTHELD- 6 лет назад +2

    Excellent, would consider another bottom material, as the bright canvas will look ugly fast, especially on grass. Probably use a leather or a better waterproof pvc or nylon groundsheet, like for heavy tents.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  6 лет назад

      That is one theory and some great ideas but I take issue with your opinion that it will look "ugly". I find the visual appearance and patterns of use to be interesting and often beautiful. Often things are desirable because they are rusty or have a patina. Have you noticed that most brand new jeans have replicated wear patterns? Try this video out of another bag I made with "dirt" as a feature. ruclips.net/video/2qHdHUqWGK0/видео.html

    • @-ZELTHELD-
      @-ZELTHELD- 6 лет назад

      Alexander Dyer Ney, you cannot compare wear marks on jeans or leather with grass and dirt stains on pure white canvas. Check out the Totepack Nr. 2 from Fjällräven. Nice leather bottom. However, of course this remains taste and that is often hard to agree one. Otherwise really nice bag.

    • @AlexanderDyer

    A really nice bag, I like it, but could I make it after watching the video, even 10x, unlikely. Without ongoing commentary I have little to no clue why you were doing, what you were doing nor the reason for doing it the sequence presented. Really nice sewing and a good looking useful bag; you'll probably get many years of use from such a quality product. I think I'm envious.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  6 лет назад +3

      I know it is fast, if I were to play everything at regular speed the videos would be much longer. It is a judgement call to be sure. If you are interested in making one I encourage you to just go back in the timeline a couple of times and I think you will get it. I have actually seen a couple of other folks make this bag based on nothing more than this video. Like this guy. ruclips.net/video/ZsOAF1ADgL0/видео.html
      Also check out this other video of mine where I make a similar bag and there is some voice over with a few more tips. ruclips.net/video/lz-dL1OKAfs/видео.html
      Juki 1508, it is in the description. I appreciate your comment.

    Ok I NEED one of these bags!!! Do you have an Etsy shop? I have been searching for a tool caddy, for crafting and this one seems perfect 😄

    Outstanding, Alexander! I need to find a source for that narrow presser foot set for my 1508!

    • @AlexanderDyer

      Mine is made by Kwok Hing. Not sure who carries that.

    Beautifully made! I'm just about to upgrade to a bigger machine, a Juki 1510N-7. Also looking to get an overlock machine to simplify/speed up hidden seams. Any recommendations on particular options/capabilities to look out for with an overlock machine? I'm usually sewing cordura, sometimes with padding or thin foam.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  8 лет назад

      Thanks. Juki is a good way to go. I love my 1508. This overlock is built for heavy material like denim and canvas. A lucky find on my part. I does shirting well too but I don't know about padding.

    Hi, thank you for the video. I am trying to make a garden tool tote for a friend as a gift. On the cutting instruction, there are : Main Sacrifice Panel (1) End Sacrifice Panel (2) and the Inside Strap - Where do they go on the bag construction? Thanks so much.

    that's a cool bag and skillful talent you have. I'm curious what type of thread do you use for sewing canvas in that oz?

  • @wongkene3730
    @wongkene3730 7 лет назад

    It looks so easy on the video. Amazing work. I would like to know why you use 2 different machines (brother and juki)? is it different functions?

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад +1

      The Brother had smaller thread in it and at the time I thought it would be faster. In the end, a second machine is not necessary; The Juki 1508 is the real work horse here and would be capable of the entire job. Hope that answers your excellent question.

    Can you show us how you make the handles?

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад +1

      For now I put some more explanation in the description. I have had a few questions on the handles so I wanted to put it where more people can see it. I have also included time cuts so that you can see me doing what I am explaining. I will have another bag video coming soon and I will be making the same kind of handles in that video so hopefully I will answer your question. Thanks.

  • @sarahshenasi5769
    @sarahshenasi5769 7 лет назад

    Looks amazing!! You are very talented! Have you ever had to use a gelatine or starch on canvas to make it stiffer and not floppy? I would appreciate if you had any tips on that!

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 лет назад

      Thanks Sarah, the grommets are for anything that you may want to attach with a girth hitch. It is an old method. I don't starch my canvas, it is 15 oz. , it is stiff because it is thick.

    hello what kind of material do you use? or what other material can be used? answer for a council please wait for your answer

  • @Mackinstyle
    @Mackinstyle 6 лет назад

    Canvas is such a satisfying material. Is working with it equally as satisfying?

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  6 лет назад +3

      I like working with it and I like the products that it makes. Robust and substantial.
