I drew out this pattern for a stitching chisel case.  I have some 1-2 oz and 5 oz leather that I'm probably going to use to make the case.  The 1-2 oz seems too thin/flimsy and the 5 oz is really stiff.  Any ideas?  Am I just SOL with the current weights I have?

Also, do you think my stitching lines will give me enough room for the chisels?

1. you could glue two layers of the thinner leather together for the back and flap and just use a single leather for the 'pouches' part

2.  I think you need more stitching room on the right of the single prong

3. the wide spaces for the 6 and 4 are going to let those tools move about too much. I would  put an extra line of stitches close to the handle bar, or wet mould the thin leather over the tools and then sew in place

So I rearanged the spaces so the 6 and 4 had less room between the stitches and rather than stitching 3 sides to create the pouch I decided to fold the bottom over and stitch up each side.  I also pulled a scrap piece of 5 oz and it is more supple than I thought it was (last time I picked it up by the hanger area).  Im using 5 oz, gonna give it a go since I don't use that hide for much right now.  The lighter leather I'm working on some wallets.

Make it like a trifold wallet. You’re in the right direction of folding the bottom over. Leave enough at top to fold over for your flap. Done deal. Easy as pie.

Yeah, this where I'm at right now.  I am letting the fold dry, I wet it so it would fold and hold its shape.  Once its dry, Ill glue the edges, punch and stitch the pockets, then glue the closure strap, punch and stitch the edges and done.
