pouches

[tommy the cat]

Picked up some soft leather from a junk shop and fancy making a pouch or two, any patterns hints etc?
Want one for my firesteel and others of varying sizes thinking about something traditional Sammi?

....I may pm Wayland as he has made some traditional pattern pouches if I remember correctly.

I watched Wayland make a couple pouches at the last Midland meet and he just did them freehand, no pattern.
Well he did use a small ali bottle he was making a pouch for as a pattern but other than that he did a lovely job and was facisnating watching him do them.

At the end of a day a pouch is just that and you can make them any shape or size you like as no one will tell you it's the right or wrong shape

I agree with you totally but just wondered how others do it. Doesn't mean to say that I will do it exactly the same but its good to see how things work for others also sometimes not repeating their mistakes is good!
