Full tour and some process pics and asmr of the junk trunk pattern by @thefunctionalsewingproject with all materials from @refastencanada
Lots of pockets and fun details and some tough spots to maneuver on my machine but oh so satisfying :-)
See my last post for all the details.
My first foray into #myog with the junk trunk pattern by @thefunctionalsewingproject
I was kindly given all the materials to make this project by @refastencanada 🙂 check them out for all your gear making needs!! Super impressed with the fabric and high quality notions (webbing, grommets, ribbon, various buckles, shock cord, aquaguard zipper, Velcro, foam, etc.).
I used xpac x11 in storm grey for the outer fabric (waterproof duck cotton!) and ultragrid in blue wave (waterproof recycled nylon) for the lining. Both fabrics are lightweight but sturdy and durable.
I added some vintage patches from @dressew to personalize the bag a bit more. This bag can be used as a handlebar or saddle bag. It is super functional with a lotta great details. Making this bag was a pretty intensive but enjoyable process. Excited to try it out bikepacking next summer :-)
Hey! I'm changing this page from a ~business~ page to a platform for me to share all the things that I enjoy making like quilting, MYOG (Make Your Own Gear), clothing, and other fabric/thread adventures.
I'm no longer trying to make $$$ with chainstitching (kudos to those that can!), but I enjoy the community of makers that Instagram provides so I'll stick around!
Thanks for following along!

@thefunctionalsewingproject sent us these really cool sewing patterns to DIY your own top tube bag! Great for bikepacking, commuting, gravel etc. A nice holiday option for the sewist or cyclist in your life 💕
I made the junktrunk bike bag from @thefunctionalsewingproject - it was hard to do on my singer 401a, I broke like 8 needles? And had to hand-stitch a few corners, but I got it done! Pretty proud of myself for completing an "intermediate/advanced" project just a few months after learning to use my sewing machine so here I am showing it off ha ha
Made the @thefunctionalsewingproject Utility Tote for my old pal @sighsighmydarling . He’s about to be a dad and wanted a diaper bag that wasn’t lame. @xpac_fabrics X11 exterior with a gridstop lining. Topped it off with a magnetic buckle. (Note: this bag is not for sale, just a gift for a friend!) ✌🏻
New video dropping today! Links in my bio on one of my favorite builds on my channel so far! This is my @cobaltbike Diablo drop bar mountain bike build! #lockedin
