    Building the Hunting Pouch

    About the Drop Box Pouch


    The Hunting Pouch is intended to be hung from a belt about the waist. The design of the bag
    will keep the worst of the weather from entering, but it is not waterproof, so if carrying items
    that could be damaged by water we suggest you wrap them in an additional protective cover
    when used outside.

    The Tools.
    Ball Point Stylus
    To transfer the pattern to the leather.

    A leather workers mallet or maul


    Three small hole punches for leather or two and an Awl
    One size for the rivets and the second to make the holes for the buckle pins, the third or the
    awl is to make the holes for the sewing needle to pass through

    Hammer Tool for rivets


    Edge Beveller
    Edge Slicker
    A Sharp Knife
    Stitch Groover
    Leather Needles
    For use with the thread to sew up the bag
    The Consumables
    Vegetable Tanned Leather
    For a sturdy bag we would suggest using a fairly heavy leather approximately 3.5mm thick
    (also called 9 oz) though you may use thinner, you will need a piece approximately 760mm
    by 140mm (30 by 6 inches).For the gusset we would suggest a flexible suede though soft
    leather can be used, whatever you select ensure its good quality because a fully loaded book
    bag can hold a substantial amount, you will need a strip 375mm by 200mm (15 inches by 8
    inches), you will also need a small quantity of thinner slightly more flexible leather
    approximately 2.5mm thick (6 oz) for the Straps

    A Buckle
    We prefer to use oval buckles 1/2 inch size

    Two Piece Tubular Cap Rivets


    Choose a complimentary finish

    Thread
    Choose a thread colour to compliment the dye

    Dye
    Whatever colour you prefer
    Drawings
    Sheet 1 of 1
    Instructions
    Cut the Bag Main Body and Bag Front from thicker leather, at this point add any decoration
    to these parts you might want, edge bevel, slick, dye and Edge Kote both parts.

    Cut the Gussets from a complimentary coloured suede or soft leather

    It is easier to add the Buckles and straps at this point rather than after the bag has been sewn
    together, you need just 4 rivets.

    Sew the gussets to the main body of the bag, Fold and Stitch the curved (butterfly) line first
    Then stitch soft pouch sections to centre section. Then push soft sections out so that the seam
    allowance for the butterfly seam lies within the pouch.

    Finally fold the top of the main body over and sew on the front flap

    Your Bag is now finished
