I Hate Stretchy Fabrics - New Bino Pouch

[4090Sharps]

It looks like a face. The sort of "meh" face I have about this project.

I wanted to build myself an enclosed binocular harness to hold both my rangefinder and pocket binoculars, and since I love my Marsupial harness, used that for a base to build off of.

Materials:

• 6lb XPE Foam
• Home-dyed Tweave
• 1/4" neoprene (I should have use two layers of 1/8"
• Coyote brown foam sandwich mesh
• 1" 17337 webbing
• 1" elastic
• 1/8" shock cord
• Polartec Velour fabric
• Magnets off eBay

Between the small size, stiff foam, and stretchy fabrics, this project really sucked. I should have made the neoprene for the lid a bit wider, but it works and will serve its purpose. I'm not stoked about this one. Oh well.

Dimensions are roughly 5" H x 4.25" W x 4" D

I ditched the buckles on the binoculars for 3/8” webbing, and really like how it worked out.

I like the rf inside, pretty slick

Sewing stretchy Shit is a mf. I haven’t mastered it yet either. Solid effort!! Like the ideas.

Innovation is birthed from necessity. Keep making. Something will stick.

Where did you pick up the Tweave from? RBTR?

Where did you pick up the Tweave from? RBTR?

Got it from a random seller on eBay about three years ago.

You can find it at Rockywoods too.

@4090Sharps good work. It is hard to work with stretchy fabric. Lots of pins are needed to tame it.
