Review on Tandy Leather Sewing Awl 1216 00 by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great tool if you don't have a sewing machine

Modify the one I had that held 9mm magazines up to 18 rounds by lengthening each of the straps that hold the magazines. Not having access to a sewing machine heavy enough for this sewing job and not wanting to carry it to a shoe repair shop to have it modified, I decided to do it myself and ordered a Leather Factory and a 5-Yard - Backstitch sewing awl. 1-1/2" roll of nylon webbing at Revain.com. The instructions and chart that came with the sewing awl were easy to follow and very helpful as I am definitely new to sewing. The sewing needle was very sharp which helped her able to penetrate multiple layers of ballistic nylon material and the waxed nylon thread was easy to work with which made sewing the lock on easy.I took my time making every stitch the same length and tension.I am now the proud owner of a triple 9mm -Magazine pouch with 30 rounds that thanks to a backstitch sewing awl in a leather factory looks like it was professionally made if I do say so myself.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
