MYOG Tutorials by Prickly Gorse Gear is aimed at the “Make Your Own Gear” outdoor DIY community, offering sewing patterns, step-by-step tutorials, design tools, and material resources. The site covers backpacks, shelters, clothing, accessories, newly released classic bike saddlebag patterns, tent pattern generators, and more. It is not a typical live-course or recorded-course platform; it is closer to a “digital patterns + PDF tutorials + web-based knowledge base” model.
Its main deliverables are digital downloads: detailed PDF instructions, color step-by-step illustrations, A4/US Letter home-printable patterns, and A0 large-format print files. Some products may also include an introductory sewing ebook or scaling practice patterns. The platform emphasizes that even sewing beginners can start with free or beginner-friendly patterns and the Getting Started Guide. The site explicitly states that there is currently not enough time to produce and edit videos for every pattern, so the learning experience mainly relies on English written instructions, illustrations, and self-guided practice.
The source text does not disclose specific prices. It only states that patterns can be purchased through Payhip or Etsy, and that buyers receive a secure download link after purchase, with downloads available multiple times. Its pricing model therefore appears to be one-time purchases for individual patterns or resources, alongside some free or beginner-friendly materials. There is no information on whether China-friendly payment methods are supported, nor on refund policies or discount mechanisms.
The biggest advantage is that the content is highly practical: it explains everything from print scaling, test squares, needle sizes, thread, and zipper selection to sourcing technical fabrics such as X-Pac and Cordura. It is well suited to people who genuinely want to make their own gear. Another plus is that an industrial sewing machine is not required; beginners can get started with an ordinary home sewing machine, provided they use suitable needles and thread. The drawbacks are also clear: there are no structured video courses, no certificates, the patterns are for personal non-commercial use only, and finished products cannot be sold. Support is maintained by an individual in their spare time, so not all questions may receive a response.
It is best suited to outdoor enthusiasts, backpackers, cyclists, and makers who can read English reasonably well, are willing to print patterns, and want to sew gear by hand. It is not suitable for users looking for Chinese-language live classes, instructor-led practice, or commercial production licenses. The source text does not specify access conditions from China. The accessibility of Payhip and Etsy, as well as payment success rates, may vary depending on network and account conditions, so it is advisable to test access, download, and payment workflows before purchasing. Alternative learning resources include Reddit r/myog, YouTube sewing content, and general sewing blogs.
