Finished this "Plain Jane" bag for a friend

[dhaverstick]

I finished this shooting bag last night for a friend of mine. He was adamant about me making the bag as plain as possible but I snuck in a little carp hide bling on the front and back flaps to cover up some stitching. He was quite pleased with the end product. Now he has to wait 9 long months to get the fowler he ordered to go with the bag.

The body and straps of the bag are made from bison hide and the saddle colored trim is elk hide. It has a small gusset pocket on the front, a small patch pocket on the inside of the main compartment, and a large gusset pocket on the back. I carved the D rings and hooks from moose antler and the buttons from deer antler. I then sewed it all up by hand using artificial sinew.

Your idea of 'plain Jane' and mine are very different. That is a gorgeous bag. I hope your friend gets years of use from it once his fowler arrives.

Oh cute. Dead fish on a shooting bag?
Great looking job, well done. It's a beautiful purse.
But that thing is far-far away from "traditional" and has nothing to do with even rendezvous era.
It's a fantasy and/or contemporary at best.
Honestly, thank you for sharing your work here.
Can you do a "Plain Jane"?
