First MYOG Backpack (my design)
Hey everyone! I wanted to share this project that I have been working on. Just an fyi, i duplicate posted this on bpl as well.
I finally got around to finishing the backpack I made. Several months back I gained interest in MYOG and seeing as my mother had a perfectly capable sewing machine, it simply made sense. I purchased a Ray-Way backpack kit and painstakingly and made my way step by step through the process. I learned a whole lot while making that bag about the frustrating yet rewarding nature of MYOG. I took the techniques and skills learned and started my own project. This new pack I consider completely my own as I made all the patterns/measurements myself. I suppose it is actually my second pack behind the rayway kit though.
[COLOR=#000000 !important]I based this pack off an MLD Burn that I recently obtained and made slight changes here and there including taking in the overall dimensions. Here are some in progress steps. Any questions, feel free to ask![/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000 !important]The Pack is made from materials obtained at ripstopbytheroll.com and questoutfitters.com.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000 !important]I used HyperD 300 in orange for the pack backpanel, wrap around bottom, shoulder straps, and hipbelt strap/padding. Hex70 in white for the front panel, side panels, and roll top.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000 !important]The pack weighs in at 10.9oz without the MLD hipbelt pockets or foam backpanel. 14.9oz with pockets and foam backpanel/sitpad.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000 !important]I wasn’t 100% on how much the power mesh would stretch so that is why I pleated it. In the future, I would not pleat it and sew it flat to the panel for a much nicer appearance. If I wanted to, I could “fix” the pleat but I think it will be fine.[/COLOR]
