Hiya...finished this yesterday...same 15oz waterproof olive canvas as before...two 1-inch straps for closure and a large 2-inch wide strap with shoulder pad for carrying (stitched in at 45 degrees to make it hang nicely)...gutermann upholstery thread sewn on a singer 201-2....leather badge with my logo....a re-inforced gusset at the bottom which, on the back is open, to make a 'quick pocket' (shouldve made it a little deeper)....it measures about 11x17 inches and comfortably takes a 10cm billy, knife, gransfors wildlife hatchet and an osprey bottle with some room to spare...

have cut six more blanks to make for sale with a few changes/improvements....hope you like!

ps...i'm hoping bilmo/john/twodogs will tell me how to prevent stitching appearing un-even due to the fact that canvas weave is a pain in the butt and makes the needle jump in and out of its weave thus making a wonky line...really annoying!

Try increasing your stitch length, Angst. Experiment with different lengths to see which gives you the best result.
I find that longer stitches work better in canvas
