First pouch I've ever made

[Big_Rubber_Duck]

Hello All,

Decided to make my first pouch, and instead of something simple i decided to make a double pouch. I didn't use any premade pattern, and think it turned out pretty good all things considered. I did get a little hasty and should have added the strap before I added the flap, but i'll just suck it up haha. Any suggestions on what kind of strap I should add?

Thanks,
Duck

You did well - nice looking pouch! I think a strap made of soft temper leather sewn to the back side at the top of the bag would work.

Better than store bought.

Haha true, don't see too many store bought double bags.
I didn't include in the first post, but its a smallish bag, maybe 7 or so inches across. Debating not whether I should add strap starters on the bag with D rings or just sew a strap straight to the back and use a button on the bag for strap size adjustment.
Was really fun to make though, definitely won't be the last bag I make.
Leather used was a 3.5-4oz honey chrome tan from Tandy, and is somewhat supple. The flap was some scrap leather that I wanted to use for color contrast.

If you decide you don’t like it, just send it to me. I’ll give it a good home.
