Here is the hunting pouch I made at Maryellen Pratt's 2 day class hosted by the Log Cabin Shop recently, for scale I included a Mike Brooks painted Lehigh:

Maryellen is an outstanding teacher, I couldn't possibly be more pleased with the class, it really covered everything soup to nuts. Coming into this class I had zero experience with anything related to this. I made a sheath once a while back that was completely unusable as sheath, probably would have made an ok cricket bat, but recently got dismantled for repurposing. Much of leather crafting, after the measuring and the stitching, is highlighting different areas and just beating the breaks off the item until it looks interesting. I think I achieved that here? It turned out a bit glossier than I had anticipated, much of what you see is the flash from my phone and shop lights, but it is pretty glossy.
I think I was supposed to prep the veg tan with something prior to dye and I forgot to, I'll have to double check my class notes, or maybe it was that blown out old bottle of eco flow leather dye I had hanging around my shop since I made that bad sheath a bunch of years ago? I thought about trying to knock the gloss down a bit with something but then decided that I liked the look of things so to just quit while I was ahead. Plus I have an enormous amount of the Miller's leather dressing that I need to start using, I hope it doesn't smell like salmon.
You'll see a couple of lighter areas on the bag and that is where I got some heavily diluted rit dye on the bag and it immediately started removing the eco-flow leather dye like paint thinner on enamel. Not sure why that happened but I kind of liked the look so I didn't mess with it. The color of the eco flow is acorn brown, I like how it turns out, but the consensus seemed to favor Angelus products so I'll try some of that for my next project.
Here's the inside, linen lined with an inner pocket:
It looks considerably less tragic in person. So I'm pretty sure I was advised to not dye the inner pocket as they were hardly ever dyed traditionally, I'm not sure so I'll have to check my notes. But you get your different brushes and doodads and colors and you're just going to town and sometimes you end up dying an inner pocket. Well, that's what happened to me, except I got a little sloppy with the eco flow and some of it ended up on the linen lining. So my plan was to just slap eco flow across and cover the entire lining, but I soon discovered that I had seriously misjudged how little of it I had left so decided to just pull it off and up for effect. But that looked out of place with the perfectly clean linen surrounding it so I got a disposable cup full of hot water and added a couple drops of cocoa brown rit dye and just started applying it across the linen with a sponge brush. I think it looks neat, I'm happy with it. I then saved the remaining diluted rit dye in an empty water bottle and created one more category for my shelf of products.
Here's the other side if anyone is interested in seeing that:

I'm really happy with how it turned out, and it was a lot of fun, so it won't be my last bag.
You should really consider taking a class with Maryellen or any of the instructors at the Southern Ohio Artisan Workshops, they are absolutely some of the best teachers one could hope for, if it's too far to drive then it is certainly worth a taking a flight in for an opportunity like this:
