Father & Son Belt Bags

 

 
A finished order for a father and son.  A belt bag and  belt for the son and a bag for dad. The bags are made from the same pattern, To make them a little different I lined the inside of the flap with a blue pattern and the other is grey.
I also dyed one a little lighter in color then the other.
