After building my first back quivers, I found myself with nice pieces of left-over leather that were too small to make another back quiver, but too big to just toss away.
The first thing I did was make a few small items:
These were fun to make, and useful, but I needed to make something bigger. Why not make possibles bags!.
At first, I was going to make one for myself, but my wife and I are going to Juneau in a couple of weeks, and we always bring some gifts for the grandkids, so I made these:
They are roughly 6x6, just right for them carry around small items. I still need to make one for our 13 year old grand daughter, but it will be of a different design. It will be a bit bigger with an interior pocket or two.
Of course, my wife and daughter now want one, and our 30 year old daughter in Juneau will want one, and so will the daugher-inlaw.... I still want one too, but now I'll have to buy maybe a double shoulder to have enough leather!
Mine will probably be made with a softer leather to be a bit quieter in the woods, It will be bigger to carry the stuff I'd normally put in my haversack. It may have a divider, and probably a couple of pockets. It should look good alongside my back quiver. I'll post a photo of what I come up with for a design (once I have one.)
