I’m a little stunned – we’ve hit the 3rd year mark and I still have umpteen things planned for the coming months; helped of course that we are in Fest season and I’ll be bringing you the continued adventures of Ithron’s heroes both near and far. Last year we celebrated hitting 100 posts, the continued ‘healthy’ LARP posts and the highlights of kit making – but I would like to focus on my personal favourites of the last 12 months. I hope that you’ll join me.

Sometimes when we are at LARP we want to keep our mundane items safely out of sight. Wallets, phones, keys – all our important possessions need to go somewhere.  Whilst camping we can tidy things away into cubbyholes and bags, however we always need these things to hand on day sites.

In this bag tutorial I will show you how to add a hidden pocket that can be closed with a button (or substituted for a zip) to provide a secure place to stash your keys close at hand.

For more bag and kit tutorials and walk-throughs, check out my Tutorials page.

Have you heard the phrase, “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”? This idiom basically says that you can’t make high quality stuff out of bad materials, but I like the idea of turning something bland and boring into something fabulous. And how? By lining a plain pouch with a splash of colour.

Here is another of our pouch tutorials (the last ones showed how to add a different coloured and curved bottom to a pouch and adding a belt loop) which will cover adding a lining to a pouch.

In the last scroll tutorial I said I would talk about how I decorate my reusable scrolls – things I have been making since late 2013 when I played my first priestess character. Since then I have experimented with different ways of making these scrolls want to and want to share these with you.

Scrolls can be as simple or as complex as you wish – ranging from delicate flourishes to heavily worked knot or keystone work or interwoven borders. I will also show a few of my favourite scrolls that I have made so far.
