The Fishing Roll

This project was a birthday gift for an avid fisherman. I created the roll and the local fishing shop filled it with an assortment of flies for him!

It has two antique brass snaps to keep it closed and I dyed the whole body in a saddle tan dye but kept the half-sheared sheep skin raw. I stitched the whole piece in a cream-colored thread.

I added the gentleman’s initials and kept the rest pretty simple. As a birthday gift, this was pretty awesome, his wife booked a fishing trip and had me make this roll and give it to the fishing guide… so he came down for an amazing trip and left with this fully stocked fishing roll!
