An odd request

August 13, 2017

Well, the request was odd, but the item to make was pretty easy.

One of the dad’s on my son’s baseball team collects dinosaur bones.  He had a 4′ dinosaur bone that he unearthed on a dig that he needed to have a pouch to cushion it as it stood end on end.

This pouch is 12″ x 4″ and is lined with a zipper on the bottom.  It is a nice soft deerskin.

Nice soft deerskin is a PITA to sew.  In order to not pull out my hair, I interfaced all the seams so it wouldn’t stretch out while sewing.

I lined it since he was going to fill it with silica beads.  This will just protect the leather and give it some extra durability.

Now he just needs to pick it up, and give me a picture of it in use!
