Next, sew them together +on the short sides, so the form a loop. The 1,5 cm extent should +be on the outer side, and arc over to the outer layer on the +other part. When done, you can remove excess material from the +extent. + +Be sure to read the entire instructions before continuing! + +For the axe part, you will make a X cm by 8 cm rectangle, where +X is the largest circumference around the axe's shaft (that was +12 cm in my case), plus at least 1 cm (that's a reallly snug fit, +you may want to add 2 cm instead). This part should also be bent +across the along the 8 cm side, to form a strap that's circa 4 cm +wide, and then sew along the longer side into a double-layered +piece. Then sew it together (on the short sides) so that it forms +a loop. + +Next say, the two parts together, rotated 90 degrees relative +to eather other, so that one hole is horizontal and the other +vertical. + +If you have a sheath, you have two, non-exclusive, options for +making it possible to attach it to the axe holder. + +1) Add a half of a push button which a push button on the sheath, + if it has one, can attach to. This push button half should + be in the centre of the axe part, before it is bent and + sew tohether, along the X side and centered on 2 cm from the + edge on the 8 cm side (middle after it is bent into 4 cm). + +2) Add an thin elastic strap going from one side of belt part + over the axe part, to the other side of the belt part. + (Center it) Being with only attach it one end. Then cover + it with a single-layer (flat and thin) leather strap, then + attach the other end. When covering the band, do not sew + into it, instead sew across it. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
