    Heyho,

    So, my latest bit of make and do took place earlier this evening. I previously had searched for a double mag pouch to replace the cross-draw holster panel on my Tac Vest, but they are pretty much impossible to find in the correct size and with velcro backing.

    Not one to be defeated by such a trivial issue, I decided it couldn't be that hard to make some. So, I borrowed my mother-in-laws sewing machine, a spool of thread, and cut up an old school bag for black cordura to use as material. I examined the existing mag pouch, and found the construction to be very simple - I just copied the way the front piece of material was folded, pinned it to stop it unfolding, and then sewed it into place on the velcro backing piece from the holster panel (now sans holster). Two more pieces were cut to make the pouch covers, and they were stitched into place.

    Heres what I ended up with:

    Still to do - add velcro (Should/could have machine stiched this on, but didn't have it handy - i'll stick it with hot glue instead), and add elastic to hold mags in place.

    Whole thing only took 30 mins, and was really easy. Got a 5 min lesson on using a sewing machine from mother-in-law. This project was pretty simple, and the result is not very elaborate (lots of improvements could be made), but its functional, and won't fall apart.

    Lots of good ideas/tips here - http://diytactical.com/blog/
