David Morningstar Slinging.org Moderator Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 3433 UK	Re: Tematlatl Tutorial Reply #26 - Jun 14^th, 2012 at 3:00am This style of pouch works brilliantly. I have made several slings like this and I used one of them in the competition in Mallorca last year. Thumbs up for a good tutorial!

Thank you for taking the time to make a lasting contribution to slinging.org. I'm in a rush now but if someone doesn't beat me to it I'll post this in the FAQ section later. It's a very good looking sling. I can't wait to make one.
