Hi Guys
So on my video I asked if anyone had any ideas of what they'd sort of pick case they'd like to see me make. as i make bags and purses which I sell on my market stalls making a pick case should be pretty easy.
Wizwazzle said he'd like to see one in british DPM camo with a magnet to hold it together.
Well I've just purchased a few meters of "super strong" (i can't actually tear this stuff even when I cut a small nick into the fabric) DPM polycotton
I've looked into using a flexible magnetic strip like wizwazzle suggested, but I really don't think it will be secure enough, i do however have some magnetic snaps I use for handbags that are really strong, so i reckon these will offer better security. However I'll try both.
So what would be really helpful now is if people could give me an idea of just how many picks they would carry on average, and weather you would want extra pockets for holding any other type of tools?
I'm going to make the pockets out of a black elasticated cotton, so the picks will slip in easy and stay in place.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, i'll update more pics as I get started
