In my ongoing obsession to make little leather holders and pouches for the tools I need to make other holders and pouches in a weird cycle, I decided a nice and quick little project was to replace the little plastic holder for my awl with a leather one.

So I quickly sketched it, measured it and drafted it then made it. I think it came out ok, I really, really don't like this leather though, I don't know exactly what it is but its the only one I've got that's really thin enough and its got this weird stretchy texture where the top layer seems to move around when cutting and it burnishes really weirdly and not very nicely. It also gets all kinds of weird stretch marks and things around the stitches, I'm interested to find out what it actually is.
