With an off cut of 3mm thick leather and some canvas I had lying around I decided to make a dump pouch. Ever since I saw one years ago I it went on my future projects list.
I've seen leather and waxed canvas ones before and much preferred the look over the modern Maxperdition versions, plus no velcro.
Really easy to make too.
Stitched inside out, I didn't bother making it with a draw string, though if I want to in future I could of fit eyelets, but really if I was going to I'd of made it in the to hem.
I cut out a template (out the top of a pizza box) thinking about the size of a Nalgene bottle, so I eyeballed it and was nicely surprised how close to perfect it was.
The leather, oil dyed walnut and the stitching holes and press stud holes ready.
All stitched, I wasn't sure if it would of needed stitching under the belt loop as well, but with 0.8mm waxed cotton and a little but of glue along the stitching line between the leather and canvas it feels more than strong enough.
All done, particularly as it was just made by the seat of my pants I'm very happy with it.
