Here you go Crow, just for you (and anyone else really), i spent the day sat next to the back door with my TV table and a few simple tools.

No fancy wheel tools or anything like that, the only real leather working tool is the braddle, but ive used a nail before i got one. the Leather is all from a big bag of offcuts that i found at a bootsale, nothing too long so i have had to join 2 strips together, but this is quite good as putting the join at the bottom of the pouch has given it more strength where its needed. The leather is all cow hide i think, i used matching pieces, but it is very soft so i have had to reinforce certain bits.


I started with the belt loop, i chose the stiffest piece of leather for the back of the pouch and a smoother piece which was a bit thicker for the loop.

I used the braddle to make all the holes before sewing.

I started at the bottom so i could be sure that the flaps at the top would be equal when it was done and i have a bit of ocd for symmetry.

Then the top flap, i actualy used the wrong piece, but it works out ok.

Although i did forget to sew on the reinforsing i wanted around the edge, but hey, its organic

Stuffed full of knitting, its getting there.



£2 coin size reinforcing for the closure stud





I'm pretty happy, its really soft, now i just need to get some use out of it, im thinking i will see if i can use it to put all the stuff i normally have in my pockets, i keep finding ive worn holes in them.

Sorry, some of the pics are not the right way round, but they are until i link them
