Hiya Jessica,

I hope that my reply shall provide you with realistic and productive results;

Tandy leather store has a good selection of Instruction books on "The Art Of Making Leather Cases" series. Originally authored/written by Al and Anne Stohlman.

The Art of Making Leather Cases Volume2, might contain the info you need. Some Tandy stores have individual rifle scabbard patterns and some holster patterns

available. www.tandyleatherfactory.com . And you might also try e-mailing Tandy .A helpful staff that might assist you further in what your lookinf for specifically.

Another resource for tips on holster making and related leathercrafing tips and articles would be the Leathercrafters and Saddlemakers Journal. www.leathercraftersjournal.com

The Leathercrafters Journal publishes a quarterly magazine. It also has Want Ads and For Sale ads at the back of the magazine.

I wish you the very best of success in your leathercrafting business Jessica!

Jessica, Don't forget to look at the videos handled by HideCrafter. Plus there are a bunch of free videos on the net. They vary in duration and quality. Good Luck, Stan

Go to some gun shows and check out the competition ,lots of people selling gun leather . Buy some holsters and take them apart for patterns if you dont destroy them any seam can be resewn and put back together . Thats your source for patterns . If I can be any help just ask 25 yrs exp .

Hey Jessica! There are a ton of videos on You Tube, from holster making to the different types of holsters available, and more added each day! Lots of leather carving videos too! Hope this helps! Best of luck dakotadons
