Thanks, oldavid. 
Twisting the other way, you say.  Hmm, how to solve that.  If you hold the same side of the sling  up when you braid the two halves, and braid even and firm, but not wery hard, it SHOULD  go well.  Practice is the secret.

To come up with my favorite, sew- on leather pouch, I just tested, thought, experimented, AND studied all the pictures in this forum to get ideas. Easy as that.
Back on page 10 in this tread is a picture of my first sewn-on pouch. Wery differeny, but works still Wink
In the beginning, I used waxed linen sewing twine, but later it is the same hemp as the sling itself.  I thinks it loocs cool Wink

Nice sling.  You make good use of the materials you have.  Looks like leather cords, and a cloth pouch?

Nice timann Cheesy The idea of using the same material to sew on the pouch is smart, 'cuz it'll look like the pouch is actually "part" of the sling (not that a normal pouch isn't a part of the sling mark you) Smiley

Looks neat Grin But close-ups would definitely give us all a better chance to appreciate the detail that you put into those wonderful slings. Smiley

and here are the stones i sometimes sling with. there all stones from a river (in norway I was there on holyday) so they are very smooth and don't damage the sling
