home made ball bag...............

[bob1961]

i just got done with it in bout an hour....i drilled the bead out just big enough to hold the leather lace tight enough not to let the bag open....it's made out of a suede vest i bought at a flea market fer 4.00....i still have bout 6 squares of it left..........bob

Buff,

I like it. It's nice to carry something made by your own hand. :thumbsup:

Will you carry it in a bag or with a strap?

I've made tons of little bags like that since I was a kid.
The reason is you always have something to put in them!
My own ball bag is made of some "old timey" looking cloth, have yet to make one of leather

Good work!

That's a great looking bag. Way better than the ones they sell. I know, I've bought a few and never will again. What did you use for the stitching?

What did you use for the stitching?

i bought a 100 yard ball of jewery hemp cord from wal-mart in tan "in the blue box" they also had a slate color too....it varies in dia a little but no bigger then 1/16" thick....i wax it up just like linen thread....i kinda used a sadle stitch on the bag but criss crossed it on the out side of the seam i think it came out looking good...............bob
