If I learned anything about my kit at Birka, it was that 1. I do not need to bring my cloak since the event is inside all day and 2. I need a belt pouch. Badly.
So many little things - my phone, my keys, my wallet, any of the potentially dozens of little things the kidlet will inevitably ask for/ask me to hold - just need to have a home somewhere on my person. My first time through the SCA, the belt pouch was about my only accessory. I don't know why I haven't made one yet though.
I searched around for a design that intrigued me and found these. They are beautiful, but the maker is in the UK and I have leather in the basement. I haven't worked with leather in years, so rather than build something I dislike later, I figured I'd do a mockup. Someone suggested using duct tape covered paper as a "leather substitute". It's not as thick as leather, but it behaves in a roughly similar fashion. Good enough for doing a mockup of a belt pouch anyway.
