Making a possible pouch

[Tony1948]

I was given a bit of skined sofer leather last week at the inside the 25 meet,so I thought I'll show you guys how I make a Possible pouch,this bit of leather was 13' across,first fold it in half then round off the bottom and cut the sides leval and mark the stitch holes and punch them out.Also punch out the holes for the pull cord,I use waxed thread and a tapestry needle to stitch the PP together.11348113491135011351

Then stitch and turn inside out,so the ruff leather is on the out side.11352113531135411355

Oh ok, is this better than a sharp knife for cutting leather?

I've always wanted to make one of these. You make it look simple though I bet getting it neat and clean like yours isn't as easy as you make it look.

Nice one Tony!

I use a knife as well as the wheel cutter,the wheel I think is better for long runs and you push it away from you,with a knife on thin leather I fined it puckers up a bit when pulling the blade.

Love it, Tony. Thanks for the share.

Is that leather piece you used one of those samples you might see in a furniture store by a new leather sofa to show the different colors available? I used to work in one and came away with an arm-full of those kind of pieces when they'd replace old samples. Looks like a perfect project for some of them.

Thanks!

Gotcha. Same sort of stuff, though, right? Either way free is good! T^

Hey guys,
instead of creating a new thread I think I'd rather add to this existing one. I finally had some time to do some leatherwork again and wanted try a kind of balloon shaped bottom pouch instead of the kind of barrel bag bottom. I found a pattern on the internet which I adapted to my liking and then transferred to the leather. Stitched up easier than I thought it would especially the pointy ends at the bottom. Then I punched the holes for the draw string and used a round shoelace for the string. I attached a belt loop on the inside of the pouch but deep enough to be able to fold the lip over. That way the pouch stays open better if you frequently need something from the pouch (slingshot ammo, bait or if you are snacking away at something). The pouch could also be real handy if you are setting up something and have a ball of string or cordage. The end of the string peeking out the pouch giving easy deployment of cordage without having the entire cord getting into a mess.
