Stuff sack tutorial?

**Stormstaff** · 11-12-2011, 10:55

Where would I look for a tutorial on making and figuring out size of stuff sacks?

Hoping to get my thread injector out of it's box soon and start messing with it. First just to figure out stitching basics then it sounds like the gateway is stuff sacks.

Thanks in advance!

I think Scott at DIYgearsupply.com has some DIY sheets of projects including a stuff sack.

I learned from the instructions at thru-hiker.com.

These are what I learned with too. They are really easy to make; really easy.
Round bottom stuff sacks, not quite as easy, but still not terribly difficult.

I like to make my stuff sacks with a flat felled seem down the side and a standard issue flat bottom, round bottoms are a bit of a PITA. I also use a grommet for the draw string reinforced with a piece of grosgrain that is long enough to be a pull tab... hope that makes sense

I just started using the flat felled seam on the sides of my stuff sacks too. makes for such a better, stronger seam. I like the idea of reinforcing the draw string area but need pictures to get it straight what you are talking about - or better yet, video.
