VIDEO: How to make a "fancy" stuff sack.

[Redoleary]

Don't watch this if you're looking to be entertained!
Here is the video version of the picture version I put up last week. Seen here.

The long and the short of it is... well its a stuff sack, has a flat felled seam down the side and a built in handle on the square bottom, and I use a grommet for the draw string to come out of at the top.

This is a great how to video for anyone who wants to try their hand a making a stuff sack. I have saved it in my favorites for future reference.

Awesome video. Very good instructions. Thanks for posting this. I have used your method to make many stuff sacks now.

Excellent video Red! Some part where your hands cover the action but really helped me clear up the process and some if the details from your pics. Thanks again!

Very useful vid thanks Red

Does it matter which triangles you cut off, you say "the portion not to the bag"? I've done round bottomed ones and envelope but squares are much more useful in a pack.

Thank you dragon, sorry about the hands, I had a lot of balls in the air trying to film and make something. I need an assistant for some of this stuff

Very useful vid thanks Red

Thanks Shewie, I was just trying to make it clear that when you sew across the corner to form the triangle you will cut off, you obviously don't want the rest of the bag under that triangle, or you'll sew it to the bag.
Truth be told you don't even have to cut them off. When you turn it right side out, they'll be on the inside.

Perfect, thank you

what a sweet video. i was going to just use the images but this explanation really helped me to understand everything

Thanks Bloomgorge, its tougher to explain the photos than it is to explain it in video, but even the video was difficult to try to be clear, and yet not ramble too much.

Great video, Red. Thanks for taking the time to make it and share it. I like the built in "handle" and the hang tab.

Yeah, thanks. I had actually just figured out the handle that day. Had to edit out the part where I sewed it on the wrong place.

Thanks, that explains alot.

Glad to hear its helpful, thank you.

Perfect, thank you

My pleasure.
