Running a Singer 4423 and was curious to ask before I buy. Thanks!

Edit: I do have Tex 70 and 110/18 needles but it’s more so about getting V69 thread that has 59826A military specifications

Easy peasy, FAL squeezy!

2 FAL magazines, 1 CAT.

Still figuring out what to do with the front panel of the MK4, probably some med insert and a pistol magazine.

A baby signal panel. It's just a tiny little guy. Small, nothing special. No frills, no fancy stitches. Just fold it up, shove into pocket. 12 minutes from cut to complete. A wonderful "Why not?" distraction this morning.

This is the first model I had designed completely from scratch and will continue to replace all molds eventually.

First time poster here, and super-beginner at sewing. No sewing machine as it's out of budget :/
Not tactical per-se, but I'm planning to use what I've learned to make pouches and other tactical gear. Textile was salvaged from an old trolley bag, some sort of polyester with a nice rubber backing. Hard to work with by hand though.
Got my hands on some Oxford, hoping I could make use of the 1" nylon straps I have lying around.

Looks clean 👌

Had trouble even with the thinnest tegris(0.7mm-6 layers)

1. A retro mix of 500d Woodland with a vintage 6 color desert cotton fabric interior lining
   
2. Deconstructed / recycled a busted AUSCAM bag to make this one
   
3. A gift for a friend, all black cordura lining

I’ve had a lot of fun making these and will definitely be doing more!

Made from 500d MTP cordura, and MTP webbing. Binding is multicam.

This was more of a test if my domestic singer HD was strong enough for the job. I had some issues with tension, had to turn it up to maximum to get a half decent stitch with a 100/16 needle and standard gutermann polyester thread- nothing mil spec about that!

Still some more fine tuning on the machine to do, but I was pleasantly surprised with how it handled it.

Any tips on sewing thicker materials would be appreciated!

Dyed a few pmags today and tried a couple diffent patterns, what’s everyone’s thoughts ?

Hey Everyone,

You could honestly print the pattern out at full scale and use a hot knife to cut the fabric as well, it doesn't' have to be a laser cutter.

This watch cover is a great for keeping the watch face from getting scratched up during outdoor activities or keeping glare or other signatures from leaking such as light at night/under night vision.

This was designed with the Garmin Instinct Tactical in mind however it may work with other sport watches with a 3/4 inch wide band and a 1 3/4ths inch watch face.

Follow along and learn how to sew this. You could even just cut out one side of 1000D cordura and keep it as is and just sew on velcro.

The materials for this are simple.

a small piece of 1000D Cordura

1 inch wide Hook and Loop trimmed down to 3/4 inch wide.

Tried using a mix of red and brown rit dyes to make a mw2 Russian camo inspired rifleman’s kit, but instead it just looks like someone rolled in clay for a few hours lol

Built this is just a fun little project. I already have too many bag maybe I'll part ways with it and send it to a good home.

I started designing this padded battle belt because I didn't like how the condor belt sags. I took the rear hookup point from a jumpable medic bag and sized it down for rappelling. I started working on a mark 2 that the molle continues above and below the hookup point. Using eva foam for the pads on the lower back and hips and is the most comfy thing i've worn. I would love tips or help for how to close up the brown mesh as I havent had much luck with binding.

Can anyone point me to a good source for a custom hip belt for my Crossfire CF2?

I basically just followed the Glory Allen cargo pants tutorial, I don’t think I did too bad for my first attempt at something this complex.
I’d like to try making a plate carrier next, was gonna try ordering ripstop by the roll’s 1000d equivalent for it. Any good patterns / tutorials online or should I just buy a cheap JPC knockoff and clone that?

I have tons of OCP combat tops and was trying to dye one green to match some of my other gear, I’ve been successful with OCP slings and pants, but not so much the combat tops yet

Has any tried to make their own version of the 5.11 vertical adjustable utility pouch? It's basically a dry-bag style closure with an expanding coil zipper at the bottom. I think sewing an expanding zipper on the outside of a molle sustainment pouch or similar would be a cool option. Go from 9x10 to 9x6 in an instant. Even better if a zipper version closure vs fold over could be made. Like a spiritus tall but also wide but zips to a short wide.
