Canted sheath question/ help

[DaveP]

How do you make the belt loop on a pouch type sheath canted? I'd like to make this small sheath canted forward for wearing on left side. What would the pattern look like? Compared to this straight loop.

To get the sheath to carry at an angle you angle the belt loop part

Have looky here;

You can either start again or cut off that loop part and sew a new one on at an angle

The illustration above shows carrying on the right. For left side, make forward = backward and backward = forward

Test on a bit of thin card first tho
