Small squarish pouch

This is a small, outside-stitched pouch made from 3/4 oz cowhide.  The inside is lined with a homespun fabric.  It has a horn button, an iron buckle on the strap and inside there is a small divided pocket.  The overall size of the pouch is 6" wide by 5.75" tall.



Game Bag #2

This is a simple game bag for my personal use.  The size is 8.5" tall by 10.5" wide.  The back panel, flap, and all edge bindings are made of a lightweight pigskin. The inside front panel is a hemp fabric, and the netted front game holder is hemp.  The flap is decorated with a pair of rosettes and a folk art moon.  The wide strap was woven from woolen yarn and has no provision for adjustment.

Ticking Pouch

This front of this pouch is made of pillow ticking and the flap, back panel, and welt are made of a lightweight pigskin.  The inside of the pouch and flap is lined with homespun and linen.  Hanging on the inside is a small homespun pocket. The strap was made by Kris Polizzi (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kris-Polizzi-Custom-Weaving/206619746042859.  The antique buttons for adjusting the strap and opening the flap are made of bone. The entire bag was treated with a mixture of beeswax and linseed oil, making the fabric a waterproof tin-cloth.
