    Building the Horseshoe Pouch

    About the Horseshoe Pouch


    The Horseshoe Pouch is intended to be hung from a belt about the waist. The design of the
    bag will keep the worst of the weather from entering, but it is not waterproof, so if carrying
    items that could be damaged by water we suggest you wrap them in an additional protective
    cover when used outside.

    The Tools.
    Ball Point Stylus
    To transfer the pattern to the leather.

    A leather workers mallet or maul


    Three small hole punches for leather or two and an Awl
    One size for the rivets and the second to make the holes for the buckle pins, the third or the
    awl is to make the holes for the sewing needle to pass through

    Hammer Tool for rivets


    Edge Beveller
    Edge Slicker
    A Sharp Knife
    Stitch Groover
    Leather Needles
    For use with the thread to sew up the bag
    The Consumables
    Vegetable Tanned Leather
    For a sturdy bag we would suggest using a fairly heavy leather approximately 3.5mm thick
    (also called 9 oz) though you may use thinner, you will need a piece approximately 445mm
    by 175mm (18 by 7 inches).For the gusset we would suggest a flexible suede though soft
    leather can be used, whatever you select ensure its good quality because a fully loaded book
    bag can hold a substantial amount, you will need a strip 305mm by 106mm (12.5 inches by
    4.5 inches), you will also need a small quantity of thinner slightly more flexible leather
    approximately 2.5mm thick (6 oz) for the Straps

    A Buckle
    We prefer to use oval buckles 1/2 inch size

    Two Piece Tubular Cap Rivets


    Choose a complimentary finish

    Thread
    Choose a thread colour to compliment the dye

    Dye
    Whatever colour you prefer
    Drawings
    Sheet 1 of 1
    Instructions
    Cut the Bag Main Body and Bag Front from thicker leather, at this point you can add any
    decoration to these parts you might want such as tooling. Bevel the edges, slick, dye and
    Edge Kote both parts.

    Cut the Gussets from a complimentary coloured suede or soft leather

    It is easier to add the Buckles and straps at this point rather than after the bag has been sewn
    together, you will need 6 rivets.

    Sew the gussets to the main body of the bag, starting with the front section, then join it to the
    back. Fold the belt loop/front flap over and sew together.

    Your Bag is now finished
