Step 3Start sewing
Take out the top nail and use some kind of an awl. I used the awl of my pocket knife to poke through the hole that the nail made to widen the hole so that the lace can fit through.
I did cut the sides of one end of the lace before starting to sew (I don't have needles for something like this) to make a nice pointy tip.
Then I poked the lace through both layers of leather.
From the front of the pouch, I wrapped the end of the lace over the top side (later this goes under the first stitch to secure the end).
I just really left the end of the lace long so I can fiddle it through all the stitches to have a more consistent look.
After the first hole, just keep on poking holes by first putting a nail, then widening the hole with the awl and then stitching the seam until you get to the position where the second nail (from the first step) is.
