I've been thinking of making my own frame bags. You got any pointers for me? Completely new to the hobby but it seems fun

- LesZedCB 3y agoI followed this guide, after prototyping a smaller one to dial in the techniques. https://bikepacking.com/gear/how-to-make-a-bikepacking-framebag-krampus/ https://bikepacking.com/gear/how-to-make-a-bikepacking-frame... honestly I think just getting stuff like corners and seam allowances dialed, frame bags (with minimal features) are super fun and easy. I order my tech fabric from seattlefabrics but ripstop by the roll is pretty popular too. it's worth getting a nylon swatch to see all the fabrics next to each other because of all the fabric stores I've been to, almost none have tech fabric. if you don't have a machine, it's worth going to a store. I tried the thrift store and got one running but the feed dogs were broken. I've only ever had amazing experiences at sewing stores asking for help or guidance.
