Diaper Wipe Pouch

my fourth project was a zippered diaper & wipe pouch based off a youtube short i saw while stun-locked one day. this was very much a case of "look at this... i could make that!" and my wife going "you could make that!" she is so sweet and encouraging.

a few things going on here:

• this was sewn inside out so the seams don't have to be super pretty, thankfully.
• my first project with a zipper! that was fun to figure out.
  • i ended up doing a glue and then a sew, punching my stitch holes through the leather and zipper tape at the same time.
  • this zipper is actually scavenged from some old faux-leather boots my wife had.
• the rivets on the strap are a mess, even the shortest rivets i had were too long so they ended up set at a slant. i ended up putting little "washers" of the same leather, but only on one of the straps i think? in the end, i wish i had just sewn the ends of the strap, but this project was half-finished for so long that i was extremely ready to finish it as quickly as possible.

and that's about it? this was a relatively straightforward project that i tried to make more complicated than it needed to be. on top of that, this is something that could be knocked out in about an hour with fabric... i'm definitely guilty of looking for nails with the hammer that is leathercraft. but
