Thread: Bino Harness DIY

Made a Bino Harness and Range Finder holder:



First I measured out my binoculars then made some paper templates.


Once I figured out how much material, straps and buckles I needed I went to one of the Op-shops in town and bought two second hand bags ($12 total)


and unpicked them.


I thought it would be a good idea to make a pouch for my rangefinder as a test run. It was, I learnt a lot, especially what NOT to do.
Here it is, sewing faults and all.


After revising what I did wrong with the Range Finder pouch I cut out the patterns and started sewing. The revisions paid off and it came out alot smarter.
Front and Back . The back has a mesh pocket that fits a large cellphone and other crap.


I haven't sewn since my Intermediate school manuel classes some 20 years ago. Not bad for a first attempt.
It only cost $12 but took ages; about a day to make. I'd like to camo it up, so might make a few changes.

I haven't cut the excess off the straps yet, I'll wait to wear it out hunting first to see it sits alright.
