Anyone have patterns for making a possible bag, the one for the day hunt not the bigger one that would be kept on a horse or something.
I made a simple bag a few years ago as a test, made from old truck tarp but it's synthetic. I'd like to make the same thing either from canvas or leather, I figure I'll just tare it apart and trace and cut new pieces.
but to me thinking are there any patterns out there for cheap or free for making bags, I need to see about the materials. I had a canvas bag as a kid and I really liked it, I think Wal-Mart had some canvas tho I'd have to see if it will work good for a bag. For leather I never know how to order it, I don't know what's a good thickness of were to get some cheap.
I see the turkey foot trading has pig skins, I'd think there thinner the cow leather tho. Any other info on making the bags would help like sowing and what tread to use and ext.
