How to make a Belt Pouch ?

[hivemind]

I get there here: http://www.hardwareelf.com/index.html in the "Latches and Locks" section. Other places have them too, but Hardware Elf will let me order and pay online. It's too much trouble to have to call a place and give a CC over the phone or have them send me a paper catalog or whatever.

Wow hivemind THANK YOU for this! Really helpfull

Cheers!

Hey Odin,

Yeah these pouches are pretty easy to make. The first one you posted looks like quite a bit of stitching. The ones made with a boot lace are a breeze to put together. Here's mine for a little more inspiration.

cheers,

Andy

Stumbled on some at MacPherson Leather today too, while I was buying quarts of Fiebing's dye - my local guy is waiting for an order, and I need them now, so had to find a place online, and they're the most reasonable.

A while ago my wife and I stumbled across a pattern at a local fabric store that had like 10 different pouch patterns in it. But upsizing the patterns a touch we started to make them in leather.

My favourite (and I'll see if I can get a picture of it) is a double pouch that has a piece that connects the two, but that is what holds it to the belt..

My wife and I are in the SCA and wanted something for carrying the car keys and such when going to events..

I will see if I can find the pattern and post a link or the pattern # for it here later on..
