Some Pouches

[mrdabeetle]

These are based on the pattern made available by Fred Moreau. I tweaked the sizes to make them available to fit items that rennies commonly carry.

The actual color is a bit more blue. 4.5 x 6.25 x 1" interior space.

Experimenting with vinegaroon. I love the gray color. 6.5 x 4.5 x 1" interior space.

I don't like the way it came out. It doesn't have the feel of sturdyness that I would like although, it is very sturdy. 4.5 x 4.5 x 1" interior space. Stage microphone transmitter fits nicely inside with some extra room for other small items.

You probably don't like that type of look for the same reason I don't like it. That being it looks just like something somebody spent 20 throwing together to sell at a Ren fair or SCA event.

I like your experimenting with color. The picture of the second one comes over my computer as a kind of mildewed look, which I kind of like - it looks like it's been around for a long while.

I think the difficulty with the 3rd one is that the rivets don't hold the corners or edges together. Maybe a gouge on the inside would help your fold look more finished. Hard to tell, but I think perhaps if you cut the leather closer to the rivets it might eliminate some of the "flap" that makes it look less "finished" than the other two. You could also put a decorative corner piece across the bottom joint - a piece of brass would be keeping with the ren look.

All that said, I like the ones with the laced construction - looks more period to me. Maybe even a leather button instead of a snap closure.

Make some more!

The blue with natural looks good. That is my favorite among them. Do you have a link for the pattern you used? Im not having any success searching for it.
