Possibles Pouch Question

[Pandabean]

All,

I have made my first possibles pouch and it seems a bit small, can hold firesteel and small bits and bobs, but not wide enough or deep enough to hold the collins food for free book. I will try and post pics later as I am at work at the moment.

But what is a good size for a pouch? I have seen pictures on here and it is hard to get an idea of the scale of it unless there is something else used in the picture that we recognise. (This is coming from the geologist in me, always use the hammer for scale )

Also would anyone have a few design ideas? Mines is basically a long piece of leather that has been folded three times with the side bits sewed on.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi,
You kind of answered your own Q there. Get your book, get enough leather to cover the book with some room and sew up...One PP for your book. I will try and post some photos of the ones I have.
Thanks for your time.

Cromm, its not really for the book, it was just to give an idea of the size of mine. I was just wanting to see what the general size is of some others to get an idea of what is big or too small.

Thanks

I make mine (possibles pouches) at about 160 x 150 x 50mm inside dimensions, but they are not designed to hold books. My smaller belt pouches are about 150 x 11 x 40mm inside.
