    Hi Alexander, Great video thanks for posting it. I made a couple of the tool bags in military grade heavy duty canvas manufactured here in Australia. The tool bags turned out 10 inches wide by 16 inches long. The height was 12 inches reducing to 10.5 after I added the bolt rope at the top. I shortened the outside strap by 3 inches to allow for the bolt rope. Using a 5/8 inch seam allowance the tops of the pockets on the end lined up with the the pocket tops on the side. The end pockets in the video banner image are lower than the side pockets, I guess this was a prototype version of the bag.
    I was pretty much forced to sew the bottom corners using a triple feed 2 inch cylinder arm machine to achieve good tight seams on the bottom corners of the bag. The rest of the bag was done easily on a flatbed triple feed machine, like your Juki 1508. Not sure how one would go making this bag on a plain drop feed machine with thick canvas. I agree that everyone should have a Juki 1508 triple feed.
    Thanks Again Myles

      That is a very informative comment. I gave it a thumbs up. Your project sounds great, you have made a great tool bag and who knows, you may have it for the rest of your life. Those bottom corners are definitely tricky. Again, I really appreciate you taking the time. Oh and prototype, yes, most of the things I make are. \HaHa/

    Thanks for this video. Just finished making one, though I only used ~10 oz cotton duck and a non-industrial machine (Pfaff 130). Still turned out great, the rope in the hem makes a big difference.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is great, I love hearing that! I have made bags with 10 oz canvas too, it works great for that and lasts too. My backdrop is made from 10 oz canvas, its good. Glad you like the rope, it definitely steps it up a notch. Thanks

    The Juki 1508...the favorite in my arsenal of machines...I have 2 1508s one for a back-up....nice bag...

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Juki 1508 is a great machine. I also have a 1541 which look very similar. I am planning on doing a video soon about the differences between the two. Stay tuned and thanks for your comments.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have never seen anyone sew like you. You have many unique techniques. Very good bags and videos. 👍

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is probably because I am self taught. Taught with the help of TH-cam. It is a great time to be alive.

  • @The_Distance_111
    @The_Distance_111 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just finished this bag. I used 2 or so yards of 36” wide duck with some left over. I added inside pockets using the method in the video with the larger bag with leather handles. It went together fairly easy. I did make one modification to both end panel pockets(at least from what I saw in the video) by moving the pockets panel up higher with just enough of the bottom seam allowance to be sewn under the end sacrifice panel . I did slightly off set the tops of the end pockets with side pockets. You end up with quite a few layers to go through during the final assembly! Regarding the cut list provided: I would cut the inside straps an extra 6 inches longer or so to be sure the doubled up section of the handles can be sewn to the bag. I ended up having shorten the outside handles a bit from the ends to get them to attach properly. It carries well enough with the handles a few inches shorter.
    Awesome project. Great videos.

    really nice craftsmanship! I started doing leather work this year, but it is very expensive. Looking into canvas with leather like a Klein bag. You just broadened my horizon with this.
    Awesome work!

    You have great instructions, i slowed it down and was able to get the instructions and sewed together 5 of those canvas tool bags, they are easy once you do the first one but you need a industrial sewing machine to sew it together, thanks for the nice video and it was a great project.

  • @conishkee
    @conishkee 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good gosh, Alex, your machine, being that it's an industrial piece of machinery is phenomenal. For it to be able to get over the bulky areas as it does is awesome! I have a Husqvarna Viking and, although I've tried getting over some bulk areas when I sew, if I don't go slow, which I would normally do, sometimes the motor can't even handle it and it causes my needle to break. Nevertheless, this was a great showing of how you put this bag together and I loved especially the pockets technique. I'm going to try my hand at incorporating that particular feature into a tote bag made with 100% cotton. Thank you so much for sharing.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes the machine is cool. These industrial machine allow me to sew things in unorthodox ways. I enjoy that I can dream up something and then be able to do it, it's fun.

    Beautifully made! I'm just about to upgrade to a bigger machine, a Juki 1510N-7. Also looking to get an overlock machine to simplify/speed up hidden seams. Any recommendations on particular options/capabilities to look out for with an overlock machine? I'm usually sewing cordura, sometimes with padding or thin foam.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Juki is a good way to go. I love my 1508. This overlock is built for heavy material like denim and canvas. A lucky find on my part. I does shirting well too but I don't know about padding.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sure, I have made bags with thinner, lighter material and they are great too. I would think any duck canvas would good for a bag. Heck, just go for it.

    Damn it!
    Just as I was engrossed in this video, my wife came through the door unexpectedly.
    I had to insist that I had been trying to find a video of naked women, and that I had not actually searched for a sewing video.
    She thought it was hilarious.
    (Hope the joke doesn't offend anyone - that's what I really said to her).
    Thanks for a great video.
    I have recently been searching local tool shops for strong canvas tool bags.
    Have only found innovative but cheaply made alternatives so far.
    But if I leaned how to fix my wife's sewing machine...

  • @wongkene3730
    @wongkene3730 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It looks so easy on the video. Amazing work. I would like to know why you use 2 different machines (brother and juki)? is it different functions?

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Brother had smaller thread in it and at the time I thought it would be faster. In the end, a second machine is not necessary; The Juki 1508 is the real work horse here and would be capable of the entire job. Hope that answers your excellent question.

    • @wongkene3730

I will have another bag video coming soon and I will be making the same kind of handles in that video so hopefully I will answer your question. Thanks.

  • @toobglued
    @toobglued 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi nice job, i see you went straight for the serger to tame that canvas, sure does get unruly quickly doesn't it. Surprised your serger table is just short of meeting up with the outfield table to be flush.
    I hear ya about people not wanting to pay the price. SEWING takes FOREVER and an 8oz spool of goretex is damn near $120 ! People don't realize that its not just thread. Let alone some material can be $20-30/yard.
    I make custom LED lights to specifically fit under the harp. Id be happy to send one along.
    I have one on my Juki 5550 and another on the Tacsew.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used the overlock on the quilted pieces of my back pack. You can see that overlock machine sits @ 6" above the table. I have found it to be very handy to use. It can be seen in my backpack video if your interested.

      Thank you and you are correct. I love these machines, they allow me to make the things I dream up. Very rewarding.

    Can I do this on an old Kenmore with a 1.2 Amp motor; maybe with a walking foot?
    I'm going to watch this several times to get the cut list then the order of construction. I need something super duty to carry my commercial diver's helmet and hoses, gauges, tools and spare parts. I want a ridged bottom with partial rigid sides to protect the helmet window.
    ... and; the option to carry it back pack style or tote I'll be threading a stainless steel cable through the top for anti theft measures. It's the little stuff that gets stolen and a big hard case won't get it when in cramped areas.
    This will be getting wet from time to time so it needs to resist environmental weather elements.
    The ability to keep a shape is very important however; I want to be able to remove the sides and bottom but it still needs to be kept with the bag.
    The bag should also clear the floor or deck by 3/4" to 1" with feet of some design.

    Looks amazing!! You are very talented! Have you ever had to use a gelatine or starch on canvas to make it stiffer and not floppy? I would appreciate if you had any tips on that!

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Sarah, the grommets are for anything that you may want to attach with a girth hitch. It is an old method. I don't starch my canvas, it is 15 oz. , it is stiff because it is thick.

    Hi Alexander, love your video and your bag, I'm making bags and learning a lot. I bought a Juki LU1508N and I've had it a couple of months, I hope I made the right choice, I had the option to get a 1531 as well and it was so hard for me to decide between the two. The dealership said the only difference between the two was the 1508 had a little bit bigger bobbin and would sew heavier leather other than that they were basically the same. I bought my 1508 mainly for working with leather to make holsters, heavy weight belts occasionally and mainly bag making. I do have a question I hope you can help me with. When working with vegetable tanned cowhide, my presser foot is leaving marks on my leather and I have backed the pressure off the foot way back but still having the same problems even with chrome tanned leather. Can you give me any advice on how to fix this problem or do I need to change the type of leather I'm using. The point of buying this machine was so I didn't have to hand stitch anymore because I'm getting carpal tunnel in my right hand. Also, I notice you mention using a narrow foot, if you don't mind me asking, where can I find different feet and other accessories for my 1508 that will fit my walking foot machine and what kind of thread do you like best? Thanks for any help and advice you can give me. Tammy

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Perhaps your foot has aggressive teeth? You might want a smoother set. Actually the bigger the feet the more they will distribute the pressure and that may also help. The more narrow foot might leave smaller marks though. I got my foot set at nick-o-sew. The Juki feet are the same as the Singer 111 and 211 so they are easy to get. Any major parts dealer can get you set up.
      Bonded Nylon or Polyester for heavy projects, I like polyester, it is a little more expensive but it will stand up to the sun. Buy good thread and you will never regret it, cheap thread will leave you cussing.

    • @tammyaltic2254
      @tammyaltic2254 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for getting back with me so fast. Sorry about the typo in my previous message, I meant 1541 not 1531. Can I ask you what kind of feet you use with your bag making, I know a lot of ladies talk about a skinny foot, have no idea what they are talking about but they seem to like it but they also have a Juki 8700 and that wouldn't work for the 1508. I have the standard foot with the guard that came with the machine and I also ordered the right & left zipper foot and 5/32",1/4" cording/welting feet. I know when I backed the pressure way off the foot, the stitches started looking bad so I stopped. Should I have tried to tighten the tension when this happened? I'm scared to mess with the tension, the dealer that I got my machine from said they had it all set up for me to sew everything I told them about and I wouldn't have to mess with the tension but, I guess if I'm going to be sewing I need to get over that issue. I have call the dealer about my problem but their not getting back with me like I hoped they would so, that's why I'm trying to figure this out on my own. I have a knee lifter for my presser foot and that is so hard to use it seems really stiff, maybe it's because it's a new machine and needs time to loosen up a bit. Thanks again for your help and advice, I really appreciate it. Tammy

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I like both the narrow and regular width feet. I don't like cheap parts though so I would advise to go for quality. Everybody is different so you gotta figure it out as to what you like best. If your foot pressure isn't strong enough the work will lift while the stitch is being made and that could explain the poor stitches you began to experience. You can adjust the placement of the knee lifter to fit your leg and that can make a big difference. This stuff takes work, practice and perseverance to develop the skills that it takes to get the most out of these machines. That is where the rubber meets the road.

    Hey Mr D .. What weight canvas are you using? What Kind of machine .. serger .. coverstich .. etc .. did you use to overstitch thet edge. It really helped to reduce thickness on the seams.

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is 15 Oz. Here is a video of an overlock just like the one I used. th-cam.com/video/2jgapDmEutI/w-d-xo.html

    Cool bag! Interested in getting a Juki 1508 or a 1541 myself. Can I ask why you switched to the Brother midway in the video for a few seams?

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is definitely not needed. It was just handy at the time. Just a quick tack that got buried beneath other seams later in the construction.

    Hi I think I will be able to follow your super fast video, some how, the only thing I think I'm going to struggle with is the handles, yes I have clicked on your link but it's not doing anything, i need the measurements for the ironed bit, is that half inch or quarter please

    • @AlexanderDyer
      @AlexanderDyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Either would work. I think I did half. I checked the links and they work from my end. Sorry to hear you are having trouble. There have been several of these made by different folks so I know you can do it. Have Fun.
