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)?

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.
