This was a smaller project after my last one, I wanted to make something relatively simple that could have a pouch with some ability to expand. I ended up reworking how I would make the expanding gussets a bunch of times, settled on attaching them to the front section by gluing then turning them in on themselves and stitching the fold, which has kind of worked but not my favourite technique there by a long shot.

I need to get some more, thinner, leather, I'm struggling with the thickness of some of the pieces I have at the moment, this one ended up rather on the chonky side because of it.

As ever, plenty of mistakes but overall still pretty happy with how it came out.
