Thanks for the feedback tscweaves!
I did try to sew with a sewing machine first:
The pouch #3 with the silver Crown pen on it, was my first attempt. I tried sewing it with a singer 268 (from 1980's).
The sewing process was quite ok, the machine did not have problems with punching the leather (3mm total). The problem was with the curved part, and I couldn't keep it consistent.
You can notice that on the pictures. In the end, I removed the stitches, increased the holes and sewed manually.
Bottom line is: I don't have sewing machine skills enough to do this (yet).
The pouches #1 and #2 were manually sewed:
I used
this tool to punch the holes. Then sewed with waxed line and needle.
Best regards.
