This is my first time following a sewing pattern. I've made a couple quilts, so I know my way around a sewing machine, but a first for patterns. I traced it with swedish tracing paper so I can still save other sizes, and I opted for some polartec power grid seconds material. Very affordable for my first hoodie. It turned out better than I expected, but a little too small for me. I learned so much. I now have more power grid, and I'm going to make the perfect hoodie. I'm so stoked. Great pattern
The venom material is soft and super light, but so tough! Evidently I need better scissors! These kits are fun and make great gifts.
The tutorial video was helpful. In several instances the camera angle or the sewist’s hands blocked critical visuals that would have explained some methods or techniques more clearly. Perhaps that’s a “me and my newness” issue. Nevertheless, I’m very pleased with the finished product, and it does what I want it to do!
The samples arrived quickly and helped me better understand the fabrics I was interested in.
I was stunned at how awesome this is, and am absolutely convinced this is a must have business resource. Well done Ripstop, the colour range is impressive!
very easy to sew. I coat the impact section of the bags with heavy urethane, else they might tear.
This was a great purchase. Built the hammock in an hour with my kids and we are all loving it. Was easy to sew and it's a great size.
I purchased some dyneema fabric as well as some double sided tape (half inch and one inch). My original plan was to replace my tent floor and I was going to leave about an inch all around and just tape in the new floor. But, I decided to replace the whole floor and sew it in. So I only needed the tape to seal the corners. By cutting scraps into one inch strips I was able to create dyneema repair tape and match the color of my new floor. I now have lots of repair tape and used other scraps to make waterproof roll top bags, a waterproof first aid kit and a waterproof wallet by taping the seams with the dyneema tape.
I absolutely love the webbing that I ordered. My friends love their key fobs too! Will definitely order again!
As a beginner, it's nice to know everything I need except sewing machine and thread are in the package. Also pleased to see the thought behind the kit. I wanted the lightest hammock bug net I could make. I was delighted to see that RBTR included small diameter shock cord and very small cord locks, in keeping with my desire for an ultralight net.
My son's new favorite piece!
Paired 3/8” UL Side Release Buckle with 1/2” UL MIL-SPEC Nylon Grosgrain Ribbon when making my Dyneema pack liner. Light weight, buckles and unbuckles easily.
This 'standard bivy' was fabricated according to the Green Pepper pattern using 1.0 Silnylon MTN for the bottom, 1.0 Hyper-D for the top, a polypro mesh visor, and a removable (velcro) 0.7 MicroLite bug hood. The top is breathable and water-resistant, so it must be used in tandem with a tarp, shelter, or fast-pitch rainfly. It's about 7.5 oz.
I make zippered bags from this super lightweight fabric. Great quality and fast shipping
I love the DIY Kit, it is a great idea to introduce your products. That being said, the three fabrics are different. A small label on each piece to let us know exactly which fabric we are working with would have been very helpful for future order planning.
