I made these large and small double-ended stuff sacks, a regular stuff sack for tree straps, and a ridgeline organizer out of 1 yard of camo fabric I got for
$2.88. I'm new to sewing, but it was a fun project!

Nice job. I have discovered lately how fun stuff sacks are fun to make. I have been going through my scrap pile making all sorts of sizes and shapes. Running out of cord locks though
Nicely done. About all I can do is create a knot ball in the thread injector

I am hoping for results somewhere between you and the op. I just went to walmart and got some needed supplies(good scissors, pins, oil, bobbins and such) I will be attempting my firsts here shortly.Originally Posted by fishbait

On side note as I stood in the isle checking out the scissors I chuckled at the fact that I was looking at products backed by the arthritis foundation and thinking I wasn't part of there marketing ploys.
Nice job!
Some of the cheap cordlocks I bought on EBay are pretty good; others very 'slippy' and not much use. A 'known vendor' is a better bet, I think.Nice job.

With a decent machine and the help available here, you should get that thing working!Nicely done. About all I can do is create a knot ball in the thread injector
My recommendation:Tear up an old sheet and make some 'practice stuff' with cotton/polyester. It's a good way to tune up the sewing machine, and you can also use the iron to press seams/hems- pressing is a big help when working with cotton, but it really doesn't work well on most of the synthetics we use for gear.
And...add good sewing machine needles and decent thread to the shopping list. They make a difference, IMO.
Good job! Those double ended stuff sacks were one of my first projects too. Listen to VictoriaGuy, get some good needles, thread, scissors, a light and reading glasses if you need them. I also found a rotary cutter and mat to be amazing tools, a lot more precise than scissors, even though you still need the scissors.

Looking good.... Keep up the good work.
Oh, I try to keep my orders to the cottage industries around here where it makes sense. I have an order coming from diygearsupply now
Well, if you need some cordlocks that slip, just drop me a line!Oh, I try to keep my orders to the cottage industries around here where it makes sense. I have an order coming from diygearsupply now
Typical EBay experience, but when it's only few dollars including postage, I don't feel bad about 'taking a chance'.

I've started using a rotary cutter in the shop for cutting fiberglass - it's a great tool.
I'm saving up for one of those pricey green cutting mats!!
