Title: My First Bag and Strap
Post by: Ironwood on February 17, 2009, 12:56:32 AM

I made the bag from a pattern I think Ranger or Razor posted some time ago. The strap is 1-1/2" Cotton Webbing from Wal-Mart. I picked up the Buckle at Hobby Lobby. Home Depot had the 1/4" grommets. A friend gave me the suede on the strap. The bag is 6-1/2" wide by 7-1/4" deep. The leather came from Tandy. There's no pockets or lining in the bag. I figured a plain one would be best for my first try. I plan on trimming it up a little, just haven't decided with what.

Wow! Thanks guys. I learned a lot from making that one. Now that it's all made it was lots of fun. That being said, I think I'll stick to smaller stuff for awhile! :D

Thanks everyone. I never thought back in October when I made that first sheath I would get so hooked on leather. :D I'd also like to thank you guys for all the help and suggestions. When I see the work some of you do. I can see what a beginner I am! :)
