    Neat!

    I'm wondering, why did you go with a triangular stitching job on the belt loop? Wouldn't that put extra wear on the triangle tip?

    I too recently purchased the pack and modified it to make a pipe pouch with interior pockets for lighter, tamper and cleaners. I don't wanna hijack this thread so I'll post pics elsewhere, hopefully Mr Armitage will see them, as I'm not on FB.

    I do have  a question, though: what do you do if you end up somehow with a hole mismatch on gusset and panel(s)? :unsure:

    That's a good question Hardrada, I asked myself that,  because on other pouches I have made I used more of a quadrilateral pattern with a few stitches along the bottom for the belt loop stitches. I will not be carrying much weight in it so I am hoping it will suffice as is. As far as your mismatched stitch hole question goes it depends how out of line it is. If just a slight mismatch I would use an awl to force a match and hope is is not too noticeable. I am learning that that no one is perfect and part of the process is being able to recover from glitches and oversights without having to sacrifice the entire project. Maybe some of the experts on here will chime in provide a better answer.

    An amazing job Carnivore, I love that you have taken the design and made it your own.  
    That is exactly what I had in mind for those videos, learn the basics and then grow with them and you have done just that.

    Brilliant Job.

    Thank you for the kind words Nigel, coming from a master like yourself they mean a lot to a struggling, eager to learn amateur.:)

    Another puzzling question is which hand would a right handed person be most likely to be holding the wallet in whist pulling the zipper open or closed. If holding the item in your left hand it would seem more natural to use your right hand to open zipper from right to left. The way I see it, it doesn't matter which way the zipper is orientated because during the open-close cycle you will be going in both directions anyway, that is unless the wallet is held in the opposite hand for closing.:whatdoyouthink:
