Eno Hotspot Stuff Sack (My 3rd attempt at DIY)

[matthew2000tx]

This weekend I was determined to use the bench mounted thread infuser (sewing machine) to make some great. We'll my first stuff sack was not very impressive. My second one was better but as they say third time is a charm. It was a stuff sack for my newly purchased ENO Hotspot (Segmented Pad Extender /SPE). I'm quite ready to tackle a DIY UQ yet so I'll use the Hotspot for a while.

I used JoAnn's Fabric mystery Ripstop Nylon. I had some yellow left over from my first few attempts of DYI. I think the contrasting color are a nice touch, if I don't say so myself. The cord was recycled form an old sleeping bag stuff sack that had a tear it in (it felt good to recycle that!)

Here are some pictures of my DIY project don't be too harsh as this is only my third time using the bench mounted thread infuser. Thanks to Risk for being helpful and answering my questions, brawny03 of Youtube and Ramblinrev's videos!

The Eno Hotspot purchased at REI today:

My yellow hang tabs. I'm proud of them...LOL


I fold the ENO HotSpot SPE a little differently than the way it comes from ENO


In she goes!


All closed up with the Eno Hot Spot in it!

Good job... I like the contrast, although not a big yellow fan at least you won't be searching for the hang tabs...

As a Pittsburgh dweller I appreciate the black and gold. Very nice job on the bag. Well done.

Yes. I picked it up at the local REI for around $20 with a coupon I had.
