  • Stove and dutch oven padded carry bags

    I want to make some padded carry bags for my old Coleman stove and my dutch ovens. I have an old military canvas tarp and some cheap sleeping pad foam from walmart for my materials. I don't have a heavy duty sewing machine, so I will be using a stitching awl for this project. I am looking for ideas of how to go about this. I don't have much sewing experience.

    My stove is:

    21 1/4" L X 13" W X 3 1/2" T

    I cut the top and bottom foam pieces already. I made them 1" Bigger in length and width, but can cut them back a bit if I need too. I might keep it simple and only pad the top and bottom, but having the sides padded would be nice. I will definitely pad the sides for the ovens if the bag for the stove goes well.

    How much should I add to the measurements when cutting the tarp pieces?

    If any of you have done this or something similar I could use some advise.

    Thanks.

    Sorry! I can't help much (sewing is not something I do excep buttons and very occasional repairs).
    If I were going to make something like this, though, I would leave lots of extra material around the edges then trim it later if its in the way.

    Enjoy!

    Ground tents work best for me, so far.
    Experience along with properly set up 4WD will get you to & through places (on existing, approved 4WD trails) that 4WD, alone, can't get to.
