Canvas Nalgene Pouch.(Pic heavy)

[pwb]

Gave the old sewing machine a dusting off and nursed it through making this pouch. The canvas is from an old issue kit bag, still got quite a bit left too. It's the first time I've used copper saddlers rivets, really like them. Strong , look cool and means less stitching .

The pouch can take a Tatonka cup and lid along with a 1Litre Nalgene bottle and still has space for a few smaller items like a spork and brew kit.

Used a zip from an old jacket so that flat items could be stored in the flap lid similar to a pack map pocket.

A canvas shoulder strap I had came in handy clipped to the D rings . Didn't bother with a belt loop but added four leather tabs so that 25mm webbing can be threaded through. Allowing for attachment to some types of pack.

Thanks Andy,
No way would I tackle a full sized pack like you did, think my machine would go on strike .
Might make a few more smaller things though , maybe a tinder pouch.

i may have to steal your design and have a bash at something similar for my crusader mug and waterbottle.

Lovely work. I find handstitching leather to canvas really hard work so I'll look out for some of those rivets.

good work thats a nice pouch, almost as nice as the wee dog

 

[topknot]

Tinder pouch sounds good. As to a full sized pack, i've got confidene in you and your machine mate.

Nice work mate. I have started using an old kit bag too to make a shoulder type bag. Has been quite a challenge so far Like the copper rivets joining. Adds strength & style and less stitching

Hi jd,

I bought the copper rivets on E-Bay here's a ink to the shop I used when I bought the setting tool and some rivets :

When I get some more rivets I think I'll get them here though :

Think I bought the eyelets and buckle from Le prevo leathers.

Eddies' a happy dog , but trying to take pictures was a pain. Always seemed to be a nose or tail in shot .

Cheers Kerne .

Think I'll get more practice in before attempting anything larger .
Plus I'd have to go and buy some canvas .
Yours and Topknots packs certainly are an inspiration though.
