CONCEPT FRIDAY - Trap Shooting Pouch
After I built the shell carrrier two weeks ago, I'd been thinking that a pouch for the empty shells would be nice. I really like the idea of using quick release buckles to attach the two together. It will make it easy to detach the lower pouch and dump the empty shells into a box(to be reloaded later). THAT turned out pretty good.
I built the lower pouch last night. The whole project went together easily. However, the Cordura material isn't close to being stiff enough to hold anything. I was going to have to make the pouch more rigid. I remembered some old slats from a set of vinyl venetian blinds in my parent's garbage and I thought that would work.
This IS a project to teach me things....so, instead of taking the pouch apart...or starting over...I decided to "fix" it. I sewed a layer on the inside to hold two vertical slats and one horizontal slat. I then sewed a layer on each side for a horizontal slat. The pouch is now rigid, yet can still fold flat.
My old pouch can't hold 50 empties very well, so I wanted this one to be bigger. I made it too big. WAY too big. I'm not sure if I'll try to take a section out of it and sew it back together or start over.
