Quick sleave bag for hobo.

[Retired Member southey]

Just a quikie for a sewn sleave bag for my soon to be started hobo, given to me by Globetrotter_uk on the gift it on thread in other chatter. go have a look!!!
take one 95pattern issue shirt sleave.

Turn inside out and after mesuring the lenghth required, remove cuff and shoulder.

stitch straight across the bottom(you could cut a circle from the shoulder bit to make a flat base) fold over the top to create a channel for the draw string and sew this.NOTE do not lie it flat on sewing machine and stitch straight across.

cut a couple of eye hole thread a draw cord through and hey presto hobo bag.

thank you for looking.

Nice one i might have a go at one myself. I made a gore tex bag last year using a leg of some old goretex dpm trousers i had.

I like that, very useful.

If you use the bottom of a leg off a pair of trousers they already have the eye hole and channel sewn in so you only need to cut to length and sew one end shut. Unless you wanna get fancy and use the bit half way up so you get a pocket on the outside to.



Cheers

Nice work and definitely on the simple side

Glad I have loads of DPM to copy it though

I just found a pair of canvas trousers that had a big tear in the seat. Someone left them behind in the grass at the riverside where i was walking this morning. They are in the wash now, and this sort of bag is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind for them.

I made a pair of these a while ago from a pair of US woodland camo trousers, so I ended up with 2 bags for my tarps and a pair of long shorts. As has been said, you can use the drawstrings in the trouser ends as a pull top on the bags.
