A Bag for a Friend
« on: January 05, 2011, 03:41:54 PM »
Ron is an important friend of mine and he needed a special shooting bag to use during his Wilderness Vigil coming up in a few months. After much deliberation and deciding, we came up with a design and I set to work. The body of the bag is sewn together at 11 stitches per inch as well as the two pockets on the front.  The bag has hand cut fringe and features a nice gusset in the bottom that narrows down at the corners.  He needed two pockets on the front to hold stuff, so he got that, as well as a strip sewn across the back inside to hold his short starter and powder measure and pan charger when they are not being used.  Further, he wanted his totem on the front with a red wool backer. Its the first time I have done one with a cloth backing and I think it turned out pretty good.  Thr strap is adjustable as well as the straps that will hold his powder horn, which he wanted to be removable as well. So here it is!

There is a marked improvement in your stitching on this bag.  Nicely done.
