FrankenQuiver
From a run of the mill Wally World hip quiver……
To this…. A leather side quiver. Holds 4 arrows, add 2 piggy backers and it holds 6.
I didn’t take any build pics because it was one of those “wing it” jobs where I was not sure how it was going to go.
I am thinking I may do a plan sheet or sheets as a downloadable PDF for those who want to DIY one. Could be made with other materials if an old hip quiver is not available. Will post more pics if needed.

Well not sure how to make plans without taking it apart and I’m not doing that, so since there has been some interest I’m posting some follow up pics showing a little more detail for the DIYers out there.
The outside holes are about 3/8″ apart but I did not measure them I just eyeballed it. The cross stitch pattern is basically a one inch square layout. one by one. Do this first to attach the plastic backing to the front before attaching front to back.
I like the back to be rough side out. It stays put better than the smooth side when wearing it. Note the rivet backer washers I made.
To attach the hood I switched to a “basting” stitch from the overhand stitch. This is all one thong.
To stitch up the hood I started in the top right “one by one” hole then went to the cross stitch then to the left seam at the bottom left and stitched the hood from left to right all the way back to the seam then up the seam with a basting stitch and back over to where I started and tied it off as shown. This is all one thong. The hood looks uneven at the top because it is. I purposefully used the scrap as is with out trimming it thinking it added to the character of the quiver.
