Dirty!
This pack is going behind glass in the "Museum of Fenna Achievement" - you do not seriously expect me to use it - do you?
I have just finished cutting out the bits to make a matching shoulder bag/haversack (some cruel folk would call it a handbag).
It will have slightly different buckles (Tandy ran out of the ones on the pack) but the rest of the materials will be the same and the cut/design is something like a Sporran Pouch on steroids. I will post pics of it when it is done
I am selling my Fjallraven Vintage bags and the Fenna Vintage bags will be taking over their role in my life
I may even have enough material to make a matching Sporran Pouch....

Credit where it's due John, that's a nice pack, good work mate

I think I'll pin it to our pinterest board for more of the world to see

John, it is a cracking bag which has had a lot of work into it. Looking forward to see the other items you are going to make to be a matching set. Did you get all the features on to the bag that you wanted?

I am truly honoured by all the nice comments - I thank you all.

I was going to have padded straps - but it did not work out as planned... The good thing is that the plain leather is very comfortable
Other than that the design worked OK

 

[Emdiesse]

Very nice work John. Something to aspire to.

 

[John Fenna]

I have added a small haversack - big enough for short day trips ...




As you can se - they are both getting used already

Sweet little bag, John. Where did you find that lovely canvas?

That's cracking good work there John.

Last night I cut out the bits for a matching Sporran pouch - but that is the end of that particular leather.... and so the end of my matching luggage collection!
I will post pictures of the three together when all is completed (and it stops raining!)

 

[John Fenna]

Cracking piece of work! - I can see me stealing that chest strap idea....

I just saw this reply ....
I will give you licence for using the design - for a consideration!

Excellent looking haversack as well. Great quality! There is just something about that shade of green that I really like. If I had that rucksack I think I'd be making some kind of matching knife and sheath to compliment it.

Excellent work John

 

[John Fenna]

And the trio is complete - poor pictures as it is lashing with rain outside...
