When Cabin Fever starts it clutching grasp, I always find its best to immerse myself in a project.
So....
Step one, Find some fabric. Some people will use old pants, coats or shirts. I didn't have any I wanted to cut.....yet.....
This will do, Old wool fabric from the 60's or 70's.

This should be good Charlie. I've been looking at the Houndsman style bags.

First things first you either eye ball it or make a pattern. I wasn't confident with my eye ball ability after being cooped up so long.
To make a pattern, you think of a general shape and trace it onto newspaper.
Cut out the pieces of paper and lay them on the fabric.
Pin them in place and cut your pieces of fabric with the pattern pinned to them.

After the fabric is cut out, take the pins out and lay the pieces of fabric out.
next step is to sew up the exposed edges that will not be sewn to another piece to keep from Fraying.
(note... I was given this sewing machine by a coworker. It took approximately 15 hours to figure out since it lacked a book. I broke the first needle and banged my head against the wall multiple times trying to figure it out. After many cool off breaks and revisits, I realized my simple mistake.... Make sure the needle isn't backwards.

Next Pin Pieces in place.
Here is the back of the sack with an inside pocket pinned in place. You should see the white line of the thread along the top of the pocket. This is what I was referring to in the previous step.

On this one I decided to have a pocket in the front and close it with a button.
So here is where I sewn a button hole and am opening it with a knife.
Then I give my eyes a rest from staring at the needle and thread and go cut some buttons from an antler.
Sand the edges of the button smooth to keep from Hanging up on the fabric.

Sew the pocket on the front piece of the pouch, then install a button.
After that's Done, I installed the shoulder strap now. I wanted to do it different but didn't have access to a vehicle or hardware to do it the way I wanted.
So here I took a strap that I had, cut it and melted the ends, then pinned it in place for a stitch.

Place the Back Piece and the front Piece together (inside out) and pin into place.
Sew along the edges.

Flip "inside out" to make it right side out.

I took the edge of the flap, turned it in, pinned it and sewed it to add weight, rigidity and strength.

After that it is time to finish the clasp.
On this one I used an old part from an old quiver where the leather had broken.
You can see I sewed the buckle in when I sewed the front pocket on. But you can use either the weight of the flap or any closure you wish. There are lots of possibilities and your imagination can run wild.

I need to punch holes in the leather for the clasp then its ready for the woods and field.
Enjoy.
PS. I made a practice one out of Black Canvas Fabric. it will be in the St Jude auction. I made mistakes like crooked stitches but it is 100% functional and useable.
Enjoy.
