From $1,500 for a Gucci to just a few dollars at H&M you can find the belted pouch nearly anywhere. Perhaps it is the practicality of the accessory that makes it a winner among so many different demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earliest known belted pouch was discovered on the body of a mummified native American some 5000 years ago, so this style is hardly new.&nbsp; As with many unisex accessories, it owes most of its popularity to its use in military uniforms. The belted pouch was notably used in the 18th century, gaining most demand during WWI, just about every culture has had a version of the belted pouch ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"389\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-500x389.jpg\" alt=\"belted pouch\" class=\"wp-image-48340 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-500x389.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-1536x1194.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-2048x1592.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_1186713226-150x117.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;

You could add an internal zipper pocket if you want but I'll leave that decision up to you.&nbsp; This is a relatively easy project to put together but, our ability to sew curves is what makes this project an intermediate one.&nbsp; Applying piping on a curve and then adding the gusset will test your patience so I suggest you used a lot of pins or hand baste the sides before using the sewing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will be adding&nbsp;<strong>Notes&nbsp;<\/strong>for alternative ways to simplify the sewing of this pouch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skill Level:&nbsp;<strong> Intermediate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-1' style='margin: 8px auto;

Hand stitching might not be your preferred way of sewing but I find it calming, rewarding and when it comes to leather work, the best are done by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attach the sides of the pouch to the gusset.&nbsp; I used plenty of pins to make the process easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sew at 1\/4&#8243;.&nbsp; Then insert the lining with the head of the zipper on the left side and the loops for the belt facing you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/a-3-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"belted pouch\" class=\"wp-image-48334 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/a-3-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/a-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/a-3-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/a-3.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
