  1. Hi all, im trying to make a belt worn holster for a leather an and light and plan to wet form it for retention. Fog the life of me, I can’t figure out the top piece sizing. I have the base plate how I want it but the top either is too tight to get in or I can’t get it to line up because the pouches/slots for the tools are too far apart. I’ve tried laying strips of the same weight leather over and marking the stitch Lines like I would for a pistol but my layout is still wrong. How do you all measure? Do you make the right stitch line for tool 1 and use that for the left stitch line for tool 2? I’d like to have about 1/2” between the 2 lines to put a key ring between if I could. thanks kelly
  2. Hi all, I have made a few dog collars this weekend and mixed my colors with the Tandy Leather Eco-Flo Leather Dye Pack. for whatever reason, the leather just sucked up the dye and left it very faintly colored and it took 4-5 coats to get the color dark enough. I did a teal by mixing the green, blue and a little white. all said and done, I got it colored and dried real nice. I applied my first coat of resolene and now it has stripped color off in places and it looks as if it has got between the dye and leather and lifted it off in puddles. Why is this happening and how do I recover? or can I? Looking at the pic, minus the bright spot from the flash, it did the same on the pink. I wonder if those colors just do not mix right and that could be the problem.
