Slow day at home so I'm going to post some finished projects.
Soft leather tinderbag, with hand-rolled jute cord drawstring. As easy as it looks to make - I used the TA Outdoors video to get the dimensions right, and the leather was from a family member decluttering an attic - it's thin and soft.
* Make a paper pattern and mark onto the leather with pencil.
* Cut with scissors, and holes punched with a mallet and awl.
* Holes are 1" in from the edge, and approx 1" apart.
* The bag is closed with a midshipman's rolling hitch.
* Circle dimensions: diameter 14 1/2"
Ive then made a loop for my belt, with another midshipman's rolling hitch, to pull it tight to me or drop it loose for room to work.
It looks very handsome filled with hedgerow clutter! Fern, birch bark, rosebay willowherb, shavings and all sorts of flammable forest things.
