Someone was asking about these a few days ago and I'd been thinking of doing one myself. I got some cheap soft leather from Le Prevo so I decided to give it a go. I didn't find the leather that easy to work with after using 2 - 3 mm veg tan but I got the job done. My lining up for sewing went awry when I was sewing on the outer pouch but it's for me so I'm not too fussed. This is the construction of it.
This is the pouch with the side sewn on to the rear of the pouch
This is it inside out and the front piece ready to go
This is the rear of the smaller front pouch sewn on to the front of the larger pouch. This means that I was able to be able to put a thong through it to tie it closed.
This is the smaller front pouch it doesn't have rear piece.
This is the smaller front pouch with the top sewn on to rear piece in pic 3 above
The stitching went awry but due to the thinness of the leather and using a speedy stitcher I didn't think the front would take the stitching being taken out and re-sewn so I left it as is.
The pouch all sewn up ready for a thong to close it.
This is it all done and full of brew kit. Milk sachets, teabags in main compt, lemonade chrystals, matches and purifying tablets in the smaller pouch.
