Well, on the bright side, once you get this down you may have a (small) market here to sell these things too...

Quick update for fun - I bought a big piece of leather, probably enough to do 5-6 pouches, maybe more. The guy at the shop convinced me to try dyeing it myself, so I started with a swatch to get the color the way I like it. I'm practicing cutting and stitching while I wait for my sample to dry.

And I used a piece of posterboard for my cutting template, previously utilized by my daughter for coloring

Have any of you gents tried sewing before? This is a first for me, and let me fill you in on a little secret -
I'm almost done with construction of the prototype now. The leather is pretty stiff so I'm going to work on softening it up, and probably start on v.2.0 today as well. Will put up pics in a bit."You can imagine where it goes from here." - Maude
