Frodo Report post Posted April 6, 2022 Was able to do a little work on this bag. Started out on the sides, used a baseball stitch, then cut that out and used a saddle stitch The inside of the purse is removeable it attaches to the 2 boot straps you use to pull your boot on. The inner piece has a 10'' x 7'' x 2'' zippered pouch a 5 '' x 7'' check book pouch 4- cre4dit cartd slots that will hold 4 cards each 2 round key ring holders The back of the pouch has a 1 1/2''' strip of leather riveted this is for a holster to clip onto, 2'' gusset made from goat Straps are next, then I will tighten up a few ;loose ends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
