A bit late, but here are my dopp kit. I had some trouble with straps and loops, had to make new ones and move them, so not quite happy about the placement of them, I may have had an issue with the pattern somehow, old and blind as I am... LOL I had much fun making it love all of your work, and looking at your beautiful items

Found some info, searching the web, as I often see leatherbit over here. (loosly translated via translate.google) Leather bit is made of vegetable tanned leather and is free of artificial additives. The bit molds to the horse's mouth and is soft and comfortable for the horse. No edges or seams that bothers the horse's mouth. Supre to all horses, especially for young horses during habituation, sensitive horses and who generally do not like usual bits. Very good on cold winter days. Leather bits created and sewn by hand, adapted to each horse. How to customize a leather bit? Leather bits are made 1 cm greater than one normal, to provide space for the bit to get adapt the horse's mouth, so you do not add anything when you measure your horse. If your horse is 11.5 cm it is this measure that you send. Once you get the bit, it shall be in an oil bath for about 15 min and hung to dry overnight. Furthermore maintained it by rinsing it well after each use and then to give it regular oil bath about every other week or so. The oil must be vegetable, such as. sunflower oil, coconut mm. Crome tanned leather are never used, as most horses are likely to be allergic. This goes for all horse tack, no crome tanned.

Oh, I know about the half tan leather! Commonly known in norwegian as "rårandslær" or "valklær". (loosly translated to raw core leather). This is a veg tan (half veg tan) who is mostly used for knife sheats, and other sheats,boxes etc. It will shrink more than normal veg tan, but will hold form and be VERY stiff/hard. Very easily shaped when wet, holds form much better than normal tanned hides. Hope this helps

I love this pattern, and have a question, how would you go ahead if you wantet to convert one side to a coinpocket? Thanks!

Thank you all, very much! Yes, it's me and my Jack Russell boy!

Hello, heres some of my leather items I made for christmas gifts Passport cover, 5oz leather Heavy duty belt, double 10oz handsewn, 50inches, brass buckle. Some of the can cosy!

Thank you so much for comments, I will not knife this bag its a fun red bag, think I will hold on to it for now Eva

Hello, yes I too have grow fond of the little red bag and its charm, its not big enough for a laptop, a good size motorcycle wallet and some other small stuff is all one can fit in this one.

Hello, I am a fan of reusing hardware, buckles and such, and went to a lokal reuse marked and found a red bag. Didn't like it at first, but hey, buckles looks REALLY nice to cut out and reuse! Once at home, with knife in hand, I looked at the buckels and it says Mulberry... and I like, what?? this cannot be, its coated canvas, not leather. It has the mulberry tree on all of the rivets, all sides of the buckles, says made in England written in goldt on pocket inside, but it really seems old, like old coated canvas. So my consern is, is this a authentic Mulberry Blenheim vintage coated canvas (1971-1996?) (yes, I had to google it) and I need to put my knife down, or is it a fake, and I can reuse buckels, pretty strong buckels? any ideas?
