I have finished a couple of leather bags and thought you'd like to see.... Well, I hope so, anyway
This one is fairly large, hand sewn with artificial sinew, of "distressed" 1mm veg tan leather, fairly large 350mm long by 250 mm high by 75mm wide. It's got an inside pocket and can take all I need for day's outing, including that little axe and copper pot (both purchased before the credit crunch reduced my play money to nil ) I can put the hatchet inside the bag, but I think I am either going to put a couple of loops on the back of the bag for it, or make a baldric for it, not sure yet.
This small one started life as a gusseted side pocket for another bag I am making, before I fluffed the measurements, so the side pocket has become a small belt pouch, 130mm by 100mm by 30mm. It's partially lined with pillow ticking. I quite like it i think it give the pouch an old fashion, well worn look.
