Ok, I have a side of 4 oz. leather that I've had for a while and I finally got around to making a pouch/purse...thing....

The pattern turned out to be a bit crooked, which I should have checked before I cut out the leather, but evidently I was too excited about finally getting to try this that I failed to observe the "measure twice, cut once" rule.

So, the details...This is made from 4oz leather, has been dyed a dark blue, and is coated inside and out with a wax based sealer. This has a brass plate on the flap, and brass rivets/washers were used at various points. The buckle is a Tandy brass buckle, and has been sewn on so that it would be easy to replace/upgrade with a more period one.

Dimensions:
~ 7 3/4" across the bottom
~ 5 3/4" tall (measured up the side pieces, and not including the flap)

It should hold a wallet, a cell phone, and car keys, provided that you don't have a massive amount of keys or a big fat wallet.

This is not perfect, so it is being sold as such.
Asking $15 plus shipping.

I am attaching pics of the purse, and one of the images the piece was based off of.

Thanks for looking,
Cat

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats it Ceddie you are getting all stuff with crooked corners now.

nice pouch cat. well done as always.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks guys! (Sorry Irish I can let you know if I end up having another flawed prototype if you like.)

I will be making more in the future, and I hope to get the pattern bugs worked out before I try again. I may even end up having more prototypes for sale, as there are a couple of different shapes I want to try.

Thanks again,
Cat
