Loolks great! What did you sew it with? 

I perforated it with a machine and then finished by hand. No particular reason, just wanted to hand stitch this one.

I use the same process for hand stitching as it gives nice even spacing.

For not having the knife on hand I’d say you did great! I had a knife maker friend years ago that was a retired sheriff and hated leatherwork, he sent cardboard cutouts to a guy doing life in prison to make his sheaths. The guy did good work but being in prison he had to use water based dyes that just didn’t look that good.

Ditto  all the above! without the knife to measure you did all you could. Looks great!

Well done.  It's not easy working from pictures of a 3D object.  Congrats!
