Tips for making the tool pouch
- When making the belt loop, leave extra room above the template area if you want extra space for a larger belt. The template allows for a 2″ belt to go through the pouch, but if you need an extra 0.5″ add 1″ to the template!
- When stitching the front pocket onto the main body, stitch the middle first. Then glue onside of the pockets down to create an opening for tools using the placement lines. Stitch around one side and the bottom then glue the other side of the pocket on. This way you can avoid having one of the pockets popping off of the glue when stitching together the pouch.
