  • No prior sewing experience needed!
  • The class will introduce you to industrial sewing machines, techniques, how to make and adjust  patterns 
  • I'll walk you through making a pattern to fit you, how to sew, install zippers, fabric selection and the details that go into making long lasting gear.
  • you get to make your own pack! options:
  1. White Light/White Heat climbing pack

  2. New Day Rising , flat lid.

  3.  classic pack options:  Pinnacle, Hot Ice.

  • If you go with a NDR or WL/WH pack you'll be able to set this up as a climbing, ski or backpacking specific pack.

This is not a class to build a custom one off pack, but a place to learn the skills to make your own gear.

  • all in stock fabrics and components are made available to you as part of the course material fee. This includes all fabrics except Dyneema. If you want certain Trim colors that I don't normally stock I'll make it happen
  • throughout the class i'll answer any questions about any bags or packs I build
  • If it get too tricky I'll lend a hand and make sure you leave with a great pack.

I'll follow up class registration with an informational email.
