Sewing in Salt Lake
This is a robust and durable zippered bag designed for small item organization like first aid kits, and travel. The shell material is 1000 D Cordura, and the inner lining is Tempo hook and loop fabric. This fabric adheres to Velcro, making the interior of the bag 100% customizable based on the users needs.

I was up in Boise ID and bought a whole ton of awesome sportswear fabric from Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics! I’ve purchased from OWF before, and they provide fabrics from Polartec, Thinsulate, Apex, Gore-Tex, etc. These are the same fabrics that are used in commercial sports clothing, and will never be found in any Joann’s or similar type shop. Shipping is usually expensive for the bulky items (like insulation) so I couldn’t miss an opportunity to get some while I was in town.
