Hey all... like a I said in my quiver thread I realy dont know how to handle leather so thats why I choose profesional leatherworker to do my quiver.

But After that I decided I need to at last try this craft on some small projects so I bought some scrap leather needles and linen thread and I just jump streight to it.

And here is some of my finished stuff.

First I try to make a leather sheath for my mora knife. Its not historicly accurate at all. But I love this little knife and I realy hate the plastic sheath.

I was making some wet leather molding and it was realy fun Second was a small pouch I make to work with my quiver strap.. like I said I have only the scrap leather so I need to combine some pieces together.. in ideal world I will use some softer leather but It works

I use this pouch for spare arrowheads some thread, hot glue, and needles.
And the final project was just for fun I have some cheap broken wetstone for sharpening my arrowheads and I dont want to just put it in some pouch and lost it ao I make a aragorn inspired pouch for my belt
Right now I dont have any ideas I have some good scraps left but nothing too big so I realy dont know what to make next any ideas? Feel free to let me know

1) Flint and Steel Pouch
2) Broadhead covers
3) Eating Utensil Case
4) Small Fishing Kit- leather fold over with pockets

Very nice work!

Thanks and white stichong i love the contrast so thats why I chose the white thread for this type of work...

What a great start!

FWIW, white (or rather, natural-greyish) linen thread on darker leather is also a byproduct of a traditional way of doing things: linen doesn't take dyes particularly well, so you see light thread on dyed leather a lot. So your pieces have a nice old-timey look about them.
