  • Education and inspiration

    I caught the makers bug when researching ultralight backpacks and discovered ripstop by the roll for sourcing materials as well as this podcast. I’ve learned a lot about fabrics, components, machines, and get inspiration from hearing the interviews. Looking forward to the industrial sewing bootcamp from Carolina textile district I heard about on this podcast.

  • Diving is in as a beginner

    I’m just beginning my MYOG journey and have found this podcast incredibly helpful especially the episodes with Matt from Red Paw.

    One show idea I’d love to hear: an overview of the technical fabrics currently available from Ripstop by the Roll. As I’ve listened to past episodes, I’ve picked up lots of great nuggets about fabrics you’ve used for specific projects, but it would be amazing to hear a big-picture breakdown of what’s available, the best use cases for each fabric, and what you persona... more

  • Smart, practical, entertaining

    This is one of the few podcasts I’ve ever heard that’s fun without being in any way frivolous. The topics and questions are well thought out and hit a huge range of needs and abilities. In many cases, it’s info you simply can’t get anywhere else. If you’re in any way sewing or gear adjacent, this is just a must listen.

  • MYOG Pretty good to Great

    It is so great have a resource of real MYOG learners. This pod is not presented in a “I know how to do it…so do this” kind or format. Rather it is from real life trials and learning from mistakes.

    This pod makes a community of MYOGers accessible at a distance.

    Thanks to you Rippers, It’s so helpful to hear the successes and failures as I am on my MYOG journey!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Designing Bags for LeBron, KD, and the Rest of Us | with Hrag Nassanian
Q: How do athletes influence signature bags at a brand like Nike?
Athletes provide storytelling opportunities and use-case insights, especially for things like compartments for shoes, wet-dry separation, and everyday carry needs; their input often shapes the narrative and silhouette more than every feature set.
Designing Bags for LeBron, KD, and the Rest of Us | with Hrag Nassanian
Q: What are the key design cues you look for in a bag to know the designer understands their craft?
Focus on ergonomic fit, strap geometry, hardware placement, and how the bag carries and sustains fatigue. Makers who pattern against real human forms and can articulate why each detail matters tend to design more effective bags.
Inside X-Pac’s Newest Fiber Technology | with Taylor North + Yann Jacquet
Q: What is Hypertech and what makes it different from other high-modulus fabrics?
Hypertech uses 100% high modulus ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) face fabric across the laminate, avoiding blends with lower modulus fibers and maintaining high strength in a very lightweight, thin material, with specific variants like UX10 and UX20ST that differ in denier and backing.
Sewing Machine Maintenance Guide | Matt Evans
Q: What is the first maintenance task to consider?
Cleaning is the initial maintenance task discussed; the idea is to remove lint and junk from moving parts without disassembling the machine, using exterior air or Q-tips as appropriate.
Why Your Projects Look Worse Than They Really Are | Chris Ellison
Q: How does Chris's photography and cinematography background influence bag design and product photography?
His background informs a strong sense of environment, mood, and storytelling in photos. He favors showing bags in real-use settings and uses lighting, composition, and depth of field to communicate how the bag would function in everyday life and travel.
