Remember...it's cloth carpentry. It only has to work, not look perfect. Your stitches will get straighter with time, so for now just focus on function and don't beat yourself up over some puckered fabric. Mine still turn out that way sometimes and I've made lots of projects.
If someone's critiquing the stitches on your gear, do you really want to hike with them anyway?
