RM canvas pouch improved copy

[forestwalker]

It is not plagiarism if you improve it, right?

I took some old canvas and a YKK no 10 zipper and made a version of the RM canvas pouch:

Basically I added interior pockets: a divided one in the back and a full size on in the front.

Size: 15x13x8 cm

Yes, I know there is an ugly seam mistake there!

Ugly seams just make for individuality - that's a nice job there...................

Thanks! But my wife is a textile pro, so I am Held To Higher Standards (and hold myself to them as well).

Now to decide if I should use wax or some modern waterproofing to make it more suitable for the lovely Swedish weather.

nice work - I'm only up to modding existing pouches and tendt to stick with black so my poor workmanship gets hidden...

Nice job, it was one of the first things I made although I never thought to improve it.

I kind of detest the "everything in a jumble" style. Too organized and it is custom for one set of tools, but with some pockets one can keep the small stuff in place and the rest will just have to live in the jumble.

A friend trained to be a tailor (or rather the one actually sewing the garment, IIRC). The final exam apparently was to sew a black suit using white thread. Naturally no white was to be seen!

Nice pouch - I'd be more than happy with that, seam included. But then my sewing skills are clearly no where near yours so I can understand you setting high standards for yourself. If only some manufacturers had he same standards - I've bought items that have had worse seams than that - good job.

Lol, I have ugly seems all over my work. Nice work, sometimes I find the smaller bits more difficult than the larger ones

Thanks! My goal is that people should look at my stuff and say "where did you buy that?" rather than "did you make that yourself?"

Lol, I have had that argument twice at work now. First with a leather bag and then with my personal cordura bag. At first they would not belive I had made them, now they know what I do, they don't question it any more

Good job, much more organised.

Yes. The narrow pockets are perfect for a DC4 and a roll of dental floss + spare firesteel + folding scissors in the other one. The big one has some repair stuff (tear-aid, etc) and a piece of waxed paper, I really should add some waterproof writing paper there as well (and an small pencil somewhere).
