Custom Belt Pack for Barista

[faceOdd]

This cute little belt pack is a custom order for my favorite barista. He needed something to hold his cell phone, multi-tool and three pens. The overall design is based on my 'Mini Messenger' bag. He designed the interior layout. My camera battery died immediately after taking one completed shot, so you can't see the front pocket under the flap or the 'secret' back pocket (mostly to keep the multi-tool from poking him in the back).

It's made from a really supple economy-grade oil tanned leather, hand sewn using two needles and beeswax-coated heavy nylon thread, poor quality nickel rivets (anyone know where to get GOOD quality ones, short of making them myself?) and too much coffee.

I have to deliver it in a few minutes. It's just a prototype, but hopefully he'll like it as-is. If not, I think I'll use it myself.

Thanks!

After looking at it all day myself, I was excited to post a picture - but I didn't realize how plain it looks until looking at the picture again.

Here's an in-progress picture of the interior:

I was just looking at your beautiful work on your website. Although I've always admired the carving people do, I've never been inspired to do it myself. Your work may have just changed my mind : )

Hey that is a cool, practical bag. I like it. I like to carry only some of my tools at times and something like this can be modified for that purpose.

Thanks for sharing.
