Here is my first main go at making a knife sheath and possibles pouch. I have made a pouch and sheath before but they were nothing more than basic attempts. these two new ones are my dedicated attempts.
The sheath is wet formed and I was surprised how well it shapes when wet. I did make this with a few Doh moments. First I glued the sheath closed and then realised I had yet to sew the belt loop so i had to undo the sheath and do the loop and then realised I forgot the dangler ring. Then it gets worse, when making the holes round the edges I missed the welt slightly so some of the stitching is in not through the welt.
The pouch is pretty small, enough to hold a few bits and bobs.

Going to start on a belt and large possibles pouch next. I worked with my girlfriend on making a book cover and it came out really well.
Anyways thought i'd show this off :)
Cheers,
Andy
