Bag for Dad

Recommended Posts

Take it easy on me, still new with leather.  Watched a Weaver video where someone made something similar so decided to make my Dad one for a Xmas gift for his truck to store some stuff or to use as range bag sort of thing. Messed up the pattern on the front and back pockets; should of been bigger pockets and also had some sewing mis-steps. Didn’t go to the trouble of edging and burnishing except for the handles since a tool bag but likely would of looked better if I did the pockets at least. Maybe next time lol.  But he turns 80 in a couple of weeks so I’m sure he will like it as is!  

The leather was some cheap oil tanned leather and was sewed with the Weaver Cub with 138 thread except for the bottom of the sides, which I hand sewed since I’m still learning how to get the most out of the stitcher. My wife picked up some deer patterned fabric from JoAnns the other day so line it with that since he’s a big deer hunter. Overall, several things I would do different but had fun so there that!

Thanks for looking!

Ben

Well done!

Thanks everyone. I made him a dopp bag too  (Michigan state liner) and two little knife holsters, one for each side since not sure what pocket he keeps his knife.
