so i decided to have a go.

i was looking at hamish's possibles pouches in the makers market and drooling as im sure many have at his jaw dropping work and all the detail his items contain and i read this at the end of his post...

"These pouches are very easy to make yourself i recommend giving it a bash to anyone who fancies one. The price of these pouches reflects the work gone into all the tooling, lacing, stitching and rivetting.

Thanks for looking

Hamish"

so i decided to have a go with some very old bits of leather, please bear in mind i have no leatherworking tools as such but i have a battery drill a belt sander and a dremmel and ive robbed my pattern directly from hamish's work or as close as i can see it ( sorry hamish! ). so here it is! im really chuffed as its turned out far better than i thought it would although its still not a patch on the original. id really like to see if anyone else has done one?

Wonderful work. Based on your introduction to the thread I certainly wasn't expecting something that good!

Me too.
I decided not to scroll down to the picture but spend time reading your intro. Really nice work mate! I'd be well impressed making something like that. :You_Rock_

If i remember rightly a member called Ozzhagis (?) published a pattern for a sporran type pouch a few years back that might be of interest to you.
