I made this 564 Compression Sack for my son’s sleeping bag he is taking on a camping trip. His original stuff sack was a little large for the trip, so I made this compression sack which just fits his sleeping bag and will be perfect for his trip. We have this pattern available as a paper pattern and a pdf pattern (find it on our site - link in bio). It’s a great pattern! Very easy. And we have the fabric (coated ripstop), webbing, and hardware in our shop to make the whole thing a breeze.

Our 211 Day Pack is a popular pattern for making a quick and easy back pack for day trips, short hikes, or school! Make it from a waterproof pack cloth (like this one). Or from a fun canvas print. A great pattern! Link to patterns in our bio!

We have kits for making our 230 Contour Waist Pack! Grab the Hardware Kit or the Hardware+Fabric Kit and make your own! Fabric is black or olive Cordura - a super sturdy and strong fabric for a pack that will last.

I made this 230 Contour Waist Pack just before I left for Chicago the other week. It was perfect for the airport and conference center - having my ID, wallet, and keys right where I could access them easily. I love how well it fit and that I could wear it several ways. I made this from a Cordura (1000D) and that was a little heavy for my machine when I was going through 3-4 layers (though it came out great and I only broke 2 needles 🤣). We have the Cordura in stock (and on sale!). And it’s a great fabric. And the pattern, of course!

Sew up this Traveler's Contour Waist Pack for a perfect and comfortable portable bag to carry your essentials. It is also great to take to concerts, traveling, on a hike, or out and about in town. The unlined pack has a front zip pocket, plus a bill and card holder inside the large front pocket. Make it up in single or double-sided.

Here's another look at our 202 - Round Bag Pattern, with one of each of the variations. We love the "pop” of these colors and the size options of the set as a whole.

Need an all-weather hat option? The Green Pepper has you covered!

The 528 Norwester Hat Pattern gives you a choice for two brim sizes (All-Weather Hat has a smaller brim; Heavy-Weather has a wider brim and longer in the back), plus a cozy micro-fleece lined crown. The elastic and velcro on the band make it easy to adjust, and keep the brim up when needed. Add the earflaps for warmth, or make it from a lightweight woven fabric for a great sunhat! We also have a kit for this pattern!
