My wife has her grandmother's sewing machine from the late 1950's early 60's, and as the technical talent in the household, I am the one that gets to do setup and troubleshooting whenever she wants to make some curtains or something. That and I know how to sew, and run a machine, as it was still high school curriculum when I was in school.
That pouch was crafted in a place that either has no QC inspector, or the sewing skill set is lower than an 8th grade high school student. LOL

It looks like the sear pouch or small parts pouch that came with the 1919A4 Browning MG. We had them still new back in the '70s...it could be repro though. That's what they looked like though...the flaming bomb looks bad enough to be real.

There are shops that sell and teach machines. You can go learn there. I highly recommend it...

Jaclin Mfg. Co., Moline. Ill., was a WWII contractor, had one contract that met the $50,000 threshold for packing services. I recall that this was a spare parts pouch for small BAR components. I can't imagine why anyone would want to replicate this pouch.
I have two examples of this same pouch made during WWI.

I actually can use a needle & thread. I have a sister that is kind enough to keep my multiple thumbs safe from the ravages of an electric needle.

I too hand sew, being a single man I still hem my own Carhartt's...I've often thought of going and borrowing the machine my daughter begged me to buy her and get lessons so it gets some use. Then I could make myself a new housecoat for this winter...see...maybe with inside holsters.
