- In this episode of zipworks, I'm making a DIY ultralight backpack intented for fast and light overnight hiking. Really excited to share this one, I think it turned out a fantastic pack - my best sewing work to date! It's fairly small, frameless and hipbeltless - so it's suited to shorter trips with minimal gear or a thru-hike if you have your gear extremely dialed. The main body is made from Ecopak Ultra 200, the shoulder straps from venom and then there is variety of mesh fabrics used for the pocketes. It's a roll-top with a magnetic closure and the buckles for the top and sternum strap are magnetized as well. The final weight came out to 14oz and the dimensions are 11x7x30in, which works out to a total usable internal volume of about 30L.
Thanks for watching!

ABOUT
-
This video is not a tutorial per se. This is how I enjoy documenting a few of my projects, it's not meant as a comprehensive sew-along guide. Some may find it useful to see how I like do things but my hope is primarily that some will find these videos inspiring - sparking creativity and ideas for making their very own bespoke gear. My thinking is that by showing the projects in a fast-paced and light-hearted manner conveys the message that making your own ultralight gear as a hobby is not very difficult and ultimately a very rewarding pursuit.
That said, I realise that some people watching this may want to follow along and some of them will be beginners at sewing. I try my best to not leave any important steps out of the clips but for anyone finding it hard to follow even with a rewatch I will be including some commentary for each step of the process below which may shed more light. If not, leave a comment below and I or someone else in the community may be able to help.
SPECS

These are the measurements I used to cut the pattern pieces by simply drawing the straight lines onto fabric.

This is probably and without doubt, one of the best videos of MYOG. Absolutly amazing.
Couldn’t agree more.
You sir are single handedly removing a huge barrier to entry for the MYOG hobby. Thank you so much!
It's sad that there are no more video, no more website
The apparent ease of sewing demonstrates an incredible level of skill. Thanks for the video.
this is one of the videos that I have and I'll watch again and again, thank you so much for all your sharing!!!!
thank you so much man! im trying to make a rucksack for bushcraft and i didnt know anything about sewing so this teally clears out ervything
This has a surprisingly rare straightforwardness and simplicity. I'd appreciate it if anyone could recommend instructional videos with a similar attitude.
Super job and very well explained!
So good! Now I just need to find the time to make and use it.
Terrific design and project. Kind of covers all the stuff I've wanted for years. Terrific water bottle pockets! (Who in the corporate day bag 'industry' thought it was a good idea to not have bottle pockets? For years I used either $20 day bags with pockets, or a $250 Sea To Summit, with bottle pockets -- but really crappy ones (Unless you're only going to carry two 500ml bottles. ) Add to this the $500 part I DIY repaired on my laptop because the bottle I had to put inside the bag leaked on my computer. While I probably won't be making this whole project... I carefully watched the section on the padded straps. This video is a resource far beyond this one bag. A huge contribution. Thank you.
A very clean backpack.. consider me inspired to make some gear! Have you ever thought about making a chest pack? Something similar to the HELIKON-TEX chest pack? Would love to see your take on something like that?
MYOG best . Bless you man. ❤
I’ve never wanted to attempt to make my own gear until seeing this on Reddit and coming here to watch. Awesome!
Great job again on another awesome project. Sewing through the foam without the presser foot was a creative solution. Lol. Guess it’s time for a machine better suited to your projects!!
Thanks! Yeah, would love a machine that can actually sew through foam!
THANK YOU! I’m working up the nerve to sew my final pack after many tweaks and decision paralysis haha, videos like this are immeasurably helpful for visual learners like myself!
Best video I have seen on MYOG so far. I was looking at making an ultra-lightweight 30L for short trips, and this is very close to what I was picturing...minus the magnets. Those are a nice extra to have.
That’s it. I have to do this. Thank you for showing me it’s possible. If can thru hike the PCT I can make a backpack 🤙🏽
Really great video!! Thanks for sharing this!
Your packs are next level!
Wow well done! Thank you for sharing!
Well done! That pack seems to be the future of backpacking "ultra" fabric. New follower here. Crow
Amazing! Thanks for showing your process. Learned a ton.
FYI the ripstop by the roll podcast has an episode that mentions some special considerations that should be taken when sewing ultra (ie. stitch type, taping, etc.)
im so happy i found this channel
Just incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Superb job and video.
Thanks for the Video. I love your projects and the minimalistic style.
This was another great video and I'm going to incorporate some of these features into my first backpack. I downloaded the shoulder strap pattern. If you offer other patterns again, add an extra page that have it full size on a big sheet of paper, that way people can go to staples or something and get it printed full size, sometimes that's easier than piecing together multiple sheets.
Do you have an alternate link to your specs PDF? It looks like the website link is down but this pack build is really inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing! 🎉
I'm so stoked to find this video!!!!
Love this video! I want to print the patterns, but the links do not work. Can you send new links for the patterns so I may print them? Thank you!
Absolutely amazing video..
Thanks for sharing, so many great tips and ideas :)
Absolutely love this. Amazing work, as always. This is stellar!
top notch video, thanks very much.
Love seeing the process, really enjoyed the video!
Riktigt bra och välgjord Video!
Beautiful pack and great work!
Great work
Really nice
thanks
salut!guy~ tank you,excellent video~ catch you later~
Is something up with your website by any chance? Was just about to download these patterns but getting an error. Thanks!
Nice Pa'lante V2!
This is true, this pack is basically my take on a mash up between a Pa’lante and Waymark pack
Snyggt!
This is so awesome!!
凄い！参考になります。
Brilliant
I just bought my first Singer heavy duty thanks to you! Please keep it up also if i were to make a request can you make a UL Chest rig/pack pattern generator? There seems to be a lack of UL chest packs in the market right now.
Bummer on the broken link. Would love to pay for the pattern.
Website down? ☹
Great video btw! I built a very similar pack last year, but am still struggling with comfort. Will play around with shoulder straps.
Sir, I need more of your content.
Awesome video! Just the sort of thing I'm looking to make soon and with the same sewing machine. I feel your pain of trying to sew through the foam!
A bit more detailed Look on how the Stitching and Binding is made would be nice! Anyhow... Nice Tutorial 🤘😎
Very good video, thank you. Without the loud background music it would be even better.
Such a great video. Gonna make one soon. But it seems the website with the patterns is down. Any chance the patterns will be available again?
wow!
such quality content and nice video! too sad the channel is only 4K subs
The links don't work, can you tell me where I can download the files?
Excelente
i still dont make my own gear, but every time i watch your videos i want to start. unfortunately my parisian flat won't let me have the space to buy a sewing machine... hope to be able soon to get one
I spent the first year making my own gear on the kitchen table, putting everything back in a closet after each sewing session. Gud luck!
This is awesome! Well made and well filmed. Looking forward to see more.
This is a great pack (and video) and would love to make it myself. Is there any way you could post the pattern? I guess I could take a screenshot from the video but not as convenient as having a PDF pattern. Thank you!
Hi is the zipworks domain still up? Links are not working for me
Is anyone else having a hard time with getting to the website?
Looks a lot like scam to me.
@@TobiasJStrandwat? how would it be a scam?
I cant go into your website anymore. Do you have any other website?
super rad. amazing documentation. and nearly a zero waste pattern! what seam allowance are you using?
Thanks! 🙏 I nearly always use 1/4” seam allowance 👍
could you please show how to sew the binding to the bottom of the bag and please let me know where I can find how to make and attach a hip belt to a bag like this. Thank you.
I sew it using a single piece of edge binding but one side at a time..
Great video and love the filming / editing style. I'm wondering what grommet and size you used for the pockets?
Thanks! I used a basic grommet kit I picked up at a local hardware store, I think it was 6-7mm
Very well done!!! Wich fabric do usted to make the bag? It's not cordura, I can see...
nah it's ultra 200
Does foam actually need to be the full length of the strap?
Is anyone able to access the pattern still?
You made my stupid ass believe that it is way too easy to make this backpack 😂
The design is so perfect and pro!
This is such a wonderful video! Thank you for making this!
Please upload more videos on the channel! Can’t wait to see more! 💛
Also, quick links check - So I opened the links to your website and designs below from India, and unfortunately they didn't load and gave a server error, so I had to use a VPN and was then able to access the website and files!
Just bringing to your attention, that the website server might need a check for max compatibility across the world.
All the love! 💌
Thank for watching and thanks for the info, will look into those links…
@@zipworks cheers! Also more videos please 🤌🏼💛
Hey! I don't know if you still monitor comments, but I was wondering how many yards of shell someone might need in order to make this?
Good day sir! Good job! I can't access the files.. The site is unavailable. Could you please upload the files again? Thanks
Can be sewed with normal sewing machine such as Singer Brilliance ?
This is great! I want to make this pack so bad. Would it be hard to ad on a couple of straps and hip belt?
Go for it, very doable!
Tried using the adhesive stick on sewing strip but the needle keeps jamming up with glue and the stitches don't take.
Sorry to hear you are having trouble! What adhesive product are you using and how are you using it?
Keren
Thanks for sharing! Curious if you have an estimate of the total cost of materials?
Hello mr zipworks man, where are u? No post in forever 😑 hope u are well!
😍
No padding on the back panel for your back?
Does anyone have the pattern for this? Looks like the link is spam.
Hello this bags pattern is avaliable in somewhere ? Awasome project by the way.
There is no literal pattern to print but you don’t need one, all the measurements are in the video and it’s all just straight lines, easily transfered to fabric…
Nice video for myog, Is it already stop making new video?
How do you like your Singer Heavy Duty? Can you compare it to mid range Brother machines? Is it considerably stronger?
It’s a decent machine that is certainly capable of making some gear, best thing about it is its affordability. I can’t compare since I’ve ever only used the Singer HD but I would imagine it is not worth it to upgrade if you already have a machine of similar price.
Hi there! Thanks for your videos! You’re channel has been such an inspiration and the reason why I started making my own gear!
I’m about to give it a try and make this pack. I’m wondering, would you recommend using 5.0 oz dyneema as the main material for the pack? I have some big piece of it left after my last project …..
Sorry for the late reply, yeah I’d make a pack out of 5 oz dyneemq for sure! Thanks for watching!
What happened to your site? Is there anyway I could possibly get some specs off of you? I love your designs and I would really appreciate it.
Hello! Thank you for posting this, it's amazing! Quick question: based on the measurements in the document for the cuts, it looks like you only would need 1yard of fabric for the body. Is that accurate? Or did you get a little more? Just wondering how much I should order so I can make this.
Thanks! 🙏 Yeah, for this project I had 1m of fabric but I think you can just about make it work with 1 yd too. Best of luck!
Looks like you are using the gutterman thread for this video. I have the same machine as you and when I use it, I get the birds nest on the bottom. What are you machines settings at? I tried to get it from the video but the I cannot see what the tension is at. Thanks. Great video.
That sucks, I feel for you! When something like this happens I usually change needle, rethread at least the top thread completely and then experiment with the tension on scraps. For whats its worth on my machine the tension is often set quite high, like a 6 or 7, I don’t think its supposed to be that high but for whatever reason it seems to work for me. Good luck
Another thing that can prevent the bird's nest is holding/lightly tugging the loose threads every time you start stitching. It's one of those simple things that can make all the difference!
What is venom and where can you buy it?
It’s a super strong fabric, built to be the ultimate material for packs. I’ve linked to all the materials in the description…
Must have missed something here but where do I click on the download for the strap detail? Thanks.
In the description, under ”Shoulder strap pattern” 👍
Hello! How much fabric do I need if I want to make an entire backpack out of X-Pac? Don't consider mesh, airmesh and the like
Typically 1 yard or meter is enough
@@zipworks I looked at the scheme on your website, counted, and came out about 3 meters
@@beviraway8616 3m sounds too much, probably more like 1m in my opinion, considering ca 137 cm width and a somewhat efficient use of fabric
Damn the PDF doesn't work
Hello, all links doesn’t works.
Skitsnygga videos! Kort och koncist! btw, du är svensk va? ;) Jag har precis köpt mig en symaskin och dina videos inspirerar! Ska gå en kurs snart här i götet, har du tips på kurser eller ställen att lära sig mer på/personer att lära sig från? Annars går jag loss på det som finns. Jag börjar här ;)
The pattern link doesn’t seem to be working! I would love to make this exact bag! Also is it 30l including all the pockets? Or just internal
Pitty... Comments got deleted again. Interesting.. 🤔
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? When I click your link for more details on the pattern I get advertising I can't click away.
Are you referring to the PDF linked under specs or the shoulder strap pattern for sale?
