It starts with an idea. In this case the idea came from an image of an old falconry pouch from the museum of Scotland. Thusly inspired I took to my trusty notebook and started sketching out ideas, thoughts and tweaks to the design.

My purpose for the bag would be to store my fireballs for a LARP, so the bag I wanted to make had to fir that purpose rather than the original intention of it storing whatever game is caught during a day of falconry.

Once I had the idea, I got out some fabric for testing. I did a quick test by hand during the day, took notes on what to fix and what worked as intended.

Back home I got out my fabrics and looked at what I had available that didn’t look too christmassy. I settled on a green heavy fabric scrap, and once it was almost done, I added some details in red leather for the colour contrast and because I like leather

Not too bad. Of course there are a few details I’ll change the next time I make one, but over all I am very happy with the result

I need to adjust the height a bit, but here we go, ready for LARPing.
