As a fellow product designer who has been watching TH-cam videos about people making stuff for pretty much his whole life. I would like you to know that these are the exact kind of videos I always hoped to find. To any young or learning designer who stumbled on this comment. Watch all of Miles’ videos. The positivity, uniqueness and wide array of techniques he shows will take you very far in the design world. Big ups Miles, keep up the amazing work🙌🏽
I love your woodworking content, but awesome to see you take your talent and eye for aesthetics to other mediums. Textiles is a different beast for sure.
Thank you! I love using so many different mediums so even though wood is my favorite it's hard to constrain myself to just woodworking ;) Thanks for watching.
Miles, love the sewing shop of your father! But even better is your filming, explanation and the way about how you create your story. Really nice idea with the shrinking tube! Loved that!
This blows my mind, you have done an amazing job! To not only design a bag for exactly what you want, but to then figure out a pattern and sew it all together..... man you are epic.
It would be really cool if you had a tour of your dad's sewing shop! I make bags as a hobby and really enjoyed seeing how you made this bag and how everything came together. I haven't personally seen anyone insert foam into a bag in the same way you did. Normally I sew my to the edges. But that does become thick when it comes time to joining pieces together. So I will have to keep this in mind and try it next time I have a bag that involves foam.
Really nice. Great video as well. If you make another one I recommend double stitching everything. It will last much longer, and is one of the benefits of a DIY bag. Most companies only single stitch to lower costs.
This is my first video on this channel I've ever seen. I liked and subscribed in the first seventeen seconds the cinematography quality was THAT impressive!!
Miles, just binged on this video and the one where you built the sunglasses. I really like both of those completed projects. Like other commenters have always pointed out your attention to the details and the overall design concept set your projects apart. Aside from your maker skills, I most appreciate the sophistication of your video story telling. Thanks for sharing so much.
Very nice work. Nice to see young folks getting into sewing. I started when I retired and turned 68…should have done it long before, because now I have a nice little retirement Etsy shop making bags.
this is so cool! i also do film photography, and carry a notebook with me everywhere. i cant carry bags on my shoulders due to chronic pain so i was excited to see the bum bag version! i may have to make one for myself.
That looks amazing! One thing I like to do it weave my zipper pulls through both holes in the zipper thus doubling the straight of the metal zipper pull.
What a great bag, that looks so good brother. Your instructions were so good and I look forward to other builds from you Greetings from Southern California, this is Alan.
I'm so impressed with your sewing ability, creativity and video making skills, especially at such a young age. You are a huge inspiration for many. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all. 😊
Love the kendama stickers on sketch book. Your kendama video is how I found your channel a while ago, and I'm stoked I did because you whip up some insane builds bro. You inspire me to think more creatively and to just try new things. Cheers man, wishin' you nothing but more success
the title grabbed me because yeah, a custom bag WOULD solve my problems, and then the thought of a pocket specifically for a sketchbook made me way too excited. this is so cool, dude, thanks for making the pattern available!
I really appreciate your videos! Love your designs and your positive energy. Also I think it's really noticeable that you care about the people watching =). Keep up the great work!
I was hooked when I saw your kumiko guitar and amp. Once again, you’ve made such a beautiful and aesthetic item. I love your style and your videography. There are some very amazing shots in this video! Keep up the awesome work. You continue to inspire me and I can’t wait to see what you build in the future!
Duuuuuude I'm absolutely stunned. The design, the functionality, the level of polish, all incredible. Especially loved the nasa one with xpac material! I'm so inspired.
Man.... you're just good at anything you do. I just randomly stumbled across your instagram and decided to see if you were also on youtube. Ive got a lot of catching up to do but my goodness, youre an impressive human being! This is awesome, keep it up, youre definitely going far in this world!!!
Congratulations on graduating highschool. Miles awesome job. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
FINALLY!!! FI-NA-LLY! For years now I've regularly searched TH-cam for someone showing how proper, modern, durable bags and such are made, and this is the first time something shows up. Could you make or have you made a video on what kind of fabric to use and where to find it, or do you know e.g. a good book? Actually: anyone reading this please chime in 🙏 I know so little that I don't even know what to look for, but I have an eternal dream of making ADHD-friendly custom items for myself. Not least a backpack. I've looked both online and in all fabric shops in almost a 100km radius, but online there's never any information on e.g. the tensile strength of the fabric and in the rural area I'm in they only sell and know about either really dainty fabric or fabric for curtains.
I've actually put together a video on what kind of machine/fabric/tools/hardware you'll need to start making your own gear, you can find it here:- th-cam.com/video/zFmRAQkzt3o/w-d-xo.html
@@jnxmck Better late than never! I wonder why that video didn't pop up except because youtube search is broken🤬 I've bought some materials that I'm not so sure about, but they where cheap. I probably need to make a lot of mistakes anyway. I thought I could use my wife's machine, but from that video of yours, I think I might try out the foot crancked Singer standing in her family's old summer house. Her grandmother (I think) used that machine up until the 80s or 90s, so it might be in somewhat working condition Also, they are very suspicious of a man even visiting their shop, so I never feel very welcome Edit: 🤦♂️ you only have seven videos, I could have looked through your videos and found it instantly 🤦♂️
Super inspired by your content to take the plunge and build more things myself! I've binge watched almost all your videos and it's just great how you explain the making process in detail. I'm sure your channel will blow up any time soon - because the content you put out is just world class! Greets from the snowy Finland and have a nice holiday season.
I’ve just come across this video, and I’m so impressed with the process and finished project. Your clear and unfussy way of explaining the steps, and talking about pros and cons. The bag looks great, and works for you! Personally, I would have to have the same colour zipper😊 yellow looks great on the bag! I’m gonna subscribe and check out your other videos! I love sewing, but also do other crafts. I’ve never designed a bag from scratch though, quite a brave thing to do!
I had this same problem with the main limiting factor being a compact bag that could fit both camera gear and my 11inch iPad. The Peak Design 6L every day carry sling was literally the only bag I could find on the market that fit my criteria. Really cool project! There is nothing more satisfying then designing a solution to fit your needs yourself. Though in my case it’s usually custom organizers and storage solutions that I 3D print.
I apprenticed as a seamstress when I was about your age (and my master carver father taught me woodworking as well)… I am thoroughly impressed. I’ve made bags before, but nothing this well executed. You are lucky to have access to dad’s shop! It always annoys me how many TH-camrs seem to have access to all the best tools and materials, while I’m over here scraping through trash and using hand-me-down tools, but I digress. I just hope you appreciate what you have. And I will subscribe and appreciate what you do with it! PS I didn’t know they still made film for photography!! Another skill I learned in my youth, working at a photo lab in my early 20s. Kindred soul.
Bro you're still in highschool, and you can draw, woodwork, digital fabrication and sew. 🤯🤯🤯Subscribed man in for the long game, can't wait to see you grow even more! Keep up the good stuff man 💪🔥
Aaaaaand subscribed. Amazing work. Have a binder attachment that I've been too scared to try to use and I didn't even know where to begin with it, this really makes me want to get to using it. Thank you.
Came to your channel after the Tenhun collab vid. Watched your vid and was blown away by the talent you have so i subbed. Watching this vid I can now see you have many layers of talent and creativity. That bag looks amazing and so professional looking Guchi would be proud:). Well done and keep up the fantastic work
This is such a nice build! And trust me when I say this, some heatshrink to the zipper pulls will make a big difference to the feel of zipping and unzipping :)
Очень круто получилось, Майлс! Ты даже продумал мамент с тканью, чтобы она отталкивала воду! Я бы хотел себе подобную сумку, которая почти полностью была защищена от воды. Нереально круто сделано, мужик! Держи✋🏼
Well planned and engineered! The slanted zipper IS really aesthetic. Maybe it's best you didn't realize what a pain it would be. Wise decision to leave it off the pattern, but it looks excellent.
There was a time where I was all about retaining that classic film grain look, then I found that it cost me like 150 bucks to get three rolls of film developed, they needed to be sent off to a separate lab and it took like a week to get back. When I was a kid and you could get a roll of film developed for 10 bucks in less than a day. Times have changed, and so I finally switched to digital completely. If I want something close to film grain, I just pull out the old Canon 5D.
On the preview looks like a bag from GUD bags. They are using similar looking fabric, but that one is rugged with a pattern. I wanted one some time ago. Now again want :) Making custom stuff is awesome. I'm also trying to do something, mostly it's a bike or a unicycle stuff. Few times also sewed few things. but on more basic level.
loving all your work (the stuff you make but also the videos themselvs!) and its super inspiring me to keep working on mgetting my workshop finished and start my own maker channel! thanks for being awesome!
@@MakeWithMiles love it man, also the color of your videos, its just incredible, i assume you do some color grading but the environment you're in is incredible for these cinematic type shots! Anyway love it all my guy keep up the amazing work ❤️❤️

yo your dad needs to start a TH-cam channel on sewing. his shop looks like thres a lot of experience in there!
Miles, once again you have shown off your incredible versatility. Well done, all of those bags looked amazing.
Thank you, I like mixing things up a bit and not just sticking to woodworking. Thanks for watching!
The final showcase is such a pop-off. Being able to ride around with your own bag...what a boss
I love your woodworking content, but awesome to see you take your talent and eye for aesthetics to other mediums. Textiles is a different beast for sure.

stumbled on you and want to drop love for seeing younger people working out the mechanics and building things!

This is my first video on this channel I've ever seen. I liked and subscribed in the first seventeen seconds the cinematography quality was THAT impressive!!
Bravo Zulu. Well done mate.
Your Father has an impressive shop.
Your skill and ingenuity are top notch.
You do a great tutorial! Great voice, great voice over , great videography! Thank you 😊❤
Thank you, that means the world to me. I’m glad you think I have a decent voiceover voice haha
WOW! Young man, you are doing some fine work! You have a great future ahead of you in whatever you choose to pursue. Loved the camera bag.

Well done. I love the pop of color that the yellow zipper and stitching add without being too much. Keep up the good work.
Never thought id enjoy this as much as i did. It was just mesmerizing to see you work with fabrics
WoW!!! So creative and talented! The bag turned out great!! Your parents must be so proud!!
Very nice work. Nice to see young folks getting into sewing. I started when I retired and turned 68…should have done it long before, because now I have a nice little retirement Etsy shop making bags.

I’m mind blown at your skills 😮
I really enjoyed watching you make this bag. Great job!
Sheeeeeeesh, lookin pro. Vice cool. Wish my dad had a legit sewing studio!
the title grabbed me because yeah, a custom bag WOULD solve my problems, and then the thought of a pocket specifically for a sketchbook made me way too excited. this is so cool, dude, thanks for making the pattern available!
Loved watching the process and of course the end product as well! Excellent work Miles! Love from 🇸🇬
Well done, better than most pro machinists, you are a very industrious young man
I really appreciate your videos! Love your designs and your positive energy. Also I think it's really noticeable that you care about the people watching =). Keep up the great work!

This dude absouletly living such a cool life.

The binder clips are genius.
What a great idea and so well crafted!
Sweet bag! Thanks to your clear and concise instructions, I think I may put a zipper on something.
Congratulations, young man.
why i never thought about using binders to sewing?! thats briliant! need to try it.
Congratulations on graduating highschool. Miles awesome job. Hopefully you get great use out of it my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you so much Jared! Super excited for this summer because I will making a lot more videos. Thanks for the comment ;)

Seeing you sew really motivates and encourages me to learn it too! Many new possibilities! Keep up the good work!
I hit the subscribe button but then realised I was already subscribed. Great job with the bag!
It turned out great Miles! You had a very clear idea of what you wanted and you were able to turn that vision into reality. Keep up the great work!
Bro, your taste in aesthetics is amazing.
I appreciate that! Thank you ;)
Wow, very impressive. I work in leather, and I might be able to design this in illustrator, but making it, that's a different story.
This dude kills it on every video!
Haha thank you Chris! ;)
I have been watching a few of your videos but didn't realise you're into film cameras until now. Cool project might have to give it a go.
Yooo! Keep working, man , ur talented! Much love from Romania! God bless your soul!
