Starting the pouches!

I've braided and luceted cord and punched holes in all of the leather I have already cut for the little drawstring pouches I'm making, so more of that today.
I found a few other luceted cords which were leftover from other things which may be long enough for the teeny, wee pouches, so I've added them to the pile of cords and will start putting pouches together tomorrow.
I'm a little sick of the judgy people on social media asking what thread type I'm using when I've been very clear the the pouches are predominantly not for reenactors. Instead of linen or silk, I'm mostly using crochet cotton, which is 100% a natural fibre and better than synthetic, but the fact of the matter is, using silk luceted cord pushes the price way up to where it's more than regular non-reenactors will pay, and since I'm using up leather and stuff I've already got AND it's pretty, I don't mind at all. There's no call for the "I'm relieved it's not nylon" when I've been very clear about what I'm making.
It turns out I have some leftover luceted wool cords, so some will have those, but most public would be happy with a leather thong.
Assembling is now my next pouch job!
