No, I don't. I just sort of made it, and a few years ago at that. For
the Newton pouch itself I took the material and folded it around the
newt, pinned, made sure I could put it in and take it out easily, then
sewed it up.
It's pretty basic, no accessory pouches or anything. It's also starting
to wear thin on the bottom edge (after several years, so I think that's
not bad for plain denim).
I've been thinking of making another one, the worn area is making me
a bit nervous. If I do, I'll make sure to make a pattern for it :-)
