Tobacco Pouch

[CdK]

Howdy, in my perpetual search for new and different fabrics for bag liners I found a reasonable source for affordable linings at Fabric Wholesale Direct. For a number of my bags I use the following lining: https://fabricwholesaledirect.com/products/ottertex-300d-solution-dyed-pu-waterproof-hexagon-grid-ripstop-fabric?variant=40771585638515

They have other rip stop fabrics as well that are quite nice as well.

I have found that watching the people that do fabric sewing can teach a lot about bag making techniques and sources of fabrics.

They look quite good well done, nice colours too 👍 

I've stopped making tobacco pouches, no one is buying them or ordering them,  which is no surprise considering  the price of tobacco here in oz , anywhere from $70 to $ 120 for 50 grams. 

Glad I don't smoke

On people not smoking.... maybe 1/3 of the people I've made pouches for in the last few years have now given up! Running joke is if you want to stop smoking buy a pouch off me

Hate to see what cigars are.

I think more people have gone from tobacco to vaping as the prices for cigarettes and other tobacco products are crazy. A pack of 20 cigarettes in Ontario is now roughly $20 CAD. After 50 years of smoking I gave up my 4 pack a day habit about 7 years ago. To keep myself sort of sane I now vape to my hearts content for about $30 a month.
