Huarache Pouch

Two postings ago I showed the Huarache sandles I made.   Well, on a recent barefoot hike I realized it would be nice to have my huaraches with me when the going gets tough....   But, I want to carry as little as possible.  So I am going to try this pouch that will hang from a belt.

The construction took some carefull planning - I wanted the pouch to be quite flat and so sewing in the veg tan 'mouth' of the pouch was done in stages, first attaching it to the front, then closing the body of the bag and then stitching the back of the mouth to the back of the bag.  Lastly the flap was sewn on and the two d-rings riveted in.

In the photo above, my huaraches are actualy in the pouchand it stays quite flat.

Here is my huaraches peeking out:
