I just finished this belated Father's Day present which I started making on the week of father's day.
I told him it would take a few days.

Lots of "firsts" in this build:

First time:
designing a pouch that wasn't just a folded flap
using a french beveler
sewing miter joints

using horn toggles

utilizing buttons of any kind

sewing with real thread

achieving a pleasing dye effect

using real lace

And probably a half dozen other new experiences.

Lots of help and advice came from wonderful leathercrafters here! Thank you!

Looks good...looks like a lot of work...I love the horn toggles...try beveling the inside edges, sand and burnish all edges and your overall appearance will improve. I like them!!!
