A while back I read a post that included step by step "how to" on tyvek stake and rope tote. Had severL compartments measured and sewn to fit specific items. May have been from a mailing bag. Did some searching g but can't fi d it...can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Is this the one you were thinking of?

Tyvek sews just like fabric, just use a medium stitch length...

Yep, I made a pouch type thing for stakes and suspension from tyvek, just stitched it like normal fabric, and it's holding fine so far.
Exactly this one...thanks a lot!

Peanuts, what kind of tape have you found works best on Tyvek? Also, not sure how to say this clearly, but sewing the seams between gear compartments is pretty defined, how did you do that part of the bag construction? Thanks.Originally Posted by peanuts

I have found 2 kinds of tape work well:
Tyvek tape, and Carpet Tape.
The problem with carpet tape is it's really hard to cut. The tape is basically glue with a few filaments in it to hold it together... sorta...
It comes in 2" wide rolls, and is impossible to trim down...
Tyvek tape is awesome stuff... but also wide...

Never sewed before, so this seems like a good starter project...is there specific types of thread commonly used for most projects? Do you have touse a special thread when working with Tyvek?
Just standard polyester thread, I use guterman because it's available everywhere, used that for tyvek as well.
Just go slow and you'll be fine.
