The night before I was leaving for a week’s vacation I realized I didn’t have a pouch that fits my phone. Made a mashup of a free-for-premium belt bag design in the catalog, and a pattern my friend sent me (changed the latch, resized the belt loops, and made the back and flap one piece instead of stitching them together), and now I have a pouch that fits my phone!

The leather is from Tandy, the gilding is with Rub N’ Buff wax, and the stitching is with Tandy Leather’s pre-waxed cord. It took maybe an hour to stitch.

After a week+ in the heat, humidity, rain, dust, etc. it’s still looking good, and the aging process has been accelerated!

I still love this frickin’ machine!
