I traced the pouch pieces before I dyed them, too. So I can size them up to make a camera pouch. I ordered some purse patterns, as I don't need the leather that comes in the kit. www.tandyleather.com/products.asp?number=6033-00I ordered 5 sq yds of leather. Hoping to find something in the purse patterns I can use or modify for something larger. Did you order one of the half shoulders? And about 4-5 oz. weight? (I think that's the weight used in the small item kits, but I'm not 100% sure about that...)

Yes. Only I ordered 6 oz, trying to compare the existing pouch to the little chart in the catalog. It arrived today and it's much too heavy. You're right, 4-5 oz would be better. I'm sending it back to exchange for a thinner one.

Nice pouch I used the same kit myself. Fortunately for me there is a Tandy retail store here in Columbus. I'm thinking of signing up for their leather working class, and then making a new belt.

I completed the larger camera pouch this weekend. I enlarged the pattern from the kit pouch and made this one from scratch. It's a little big for the camera but it will have room for some extra batteries and maybe some business cards. The whole belt with the 3 new pouches. I also made a new cover for the back buckle which fits better and covers it all:

Oh, that large pouch looks fantastic! Did you get extra leather from Tandy as well? I got the Tandy catalog in the mail, and in it, the pouch kit is pictured black and it has an eagle head design on the hardware. I wonder if this is the same kit. I'll have to check the # on the website.

That exactly it. It comes in undyed, untooled, plain leather. You can dye it any shade you want and leave it untooled.
Thanks for your comments. Yes, I purchased 4-5 oz leather from Tandy. That's about the right weight...it's similar to that of the small pouch.
