I&#8217;d been promising myself that I would start making pouches and accessories to go with my Ren Faire outfit, and this season seemed like a good time for it. I had the better part of a large piece of vegetable tanned shoulder, and a few of the basic tools to get started, just needed some buckles, a catch, rivets and a nice rich brown dye.<\/p>\n<p>Knocked out a few designs in cardstock to get a feel for the size and style, and also to have a cutting template when I was done. Went for a more organic teardrop curved shape, simple but attractive. Finished, it looks well made (if I do say so myself), but not &#8220;modern made&#8221;, which is important for a period piece. The bag is approximately 6&#8243; wide.<\/p>\n<p>I have added, since its completion, a fleur de lis embossing which I think may become part of all my costume pieces. It would have been a little nicer and deeper had I done it before I had stained the leather, and if I could have done it in wet leather as well, but it&#8217;s not too bad as it is. I am heartily encouraged by this success, and see myself happily making more, and possibly more elaborate pieces before too long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8108\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8109\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8112\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8113\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8115\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8116\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8118\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8119\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8121\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8122\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8124\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8125\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8127\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8128\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8130\" rel=\"lightbox[leather_pouch];player=img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/dmentd.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&amp;g2_itemId=8131\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an initial success making a leather case for a Moleskin notebook, I&#8217;d been itching to work on something else.
