Easy way: turn it inside out and stitch it. Then flip it right side out. You'll be stitching the skin side and not the fur side so it won't be much trouble. I haven't done one with fur but, for the leather bags I make, I'll glue it together around the edges and let the glue dry. Then use a two prong leather punch and go ahead and make the holes all the way around. Takes a few minutes but much easier than forcing the needle through for every stitch. Once it's sewed up I'll turn it out. I usually also put the strap or strap connectors on before stitching the two bag panels together though. I find that to be less agrivating.
Fishing tackle.Phil, what are those things on that belt???
Fur bags are cool
but I've never been a fan. I keep thinking about them getting wet in the rain 🌧.
Not referring to yours Phil. Was referring to the belt bag in the first post.When I made mine during the last century we called it a possible bag, now this century I still call it a possible bag. That covers two centuries. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!
I have called them a possibles bag for over 50 years.When I made mine during the last century we called it a possible bag, now this century I still call it a possible bag. That covers two centuries. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!
When I first got into BP back in 94 my wife bought me a TC suede bag at the local gun store. I didn't know anything then so, when it said possibles bag right there on the packaging, I assumed that's what it was. It is actually too small for a possibles bag but just right for a shooting bag for small calibers. I don't know what to call them now as some guys say rifle bag, shot bag, shot pouch, shooter's bag... So I still refer to it as a possibles bag sometimes. It's just a bit smaller than the possibles bag hanging off my other shoulder.
Same technique. It's just thin leather.
