My foray into holster making

Nice work! It's an addiction...

I like that you gave yourself the option for crossdraw!

For a cheap alternative in coloration, try some Kiwi Brand shoe polish.

As far as good karma goes - I like how you established makers help the new guy out. Very cool!

This is one of the things that make DC such a good forum. We mostly get along pretty good and the members all enjoy our topics. Good first holster by the way.

Great job, my fellow holster makers have already provided some good advise. My first holster sure didn't look that good. I gave it to the dog to chew on.

Good stuff, would not want to see what my attempt would look like (I have never been very handy) not sure why my dad and grand dad both can work with wood leather etc... not me

I've got some real good input on holster making from a few different members on the forum. Everyone is anxious to help out; they've been real helpful.

...Once I'm comfortable with a pattern, and once I'm able to make straight stitching holes , I'll try some double stitching, etc.

If you contact cement (not rubber cement) the pieces together, you won't need to double stitch IMHO. Keep trying and let us know if you have questions.
