Thank you very much for your comments! I was using a saddle stitch for my sewing. I'd appreciate any advice. Jeff

Wow! I think that came out really nice! Jeff

Looks really great to me!! I think it's awesome! Jeff

My friend requested I try my hand at making him a behind the back pouch sheath for horizontal carry, and he wanted most of the overall length of the blade covered, so it wouldn't be too obvious what it was...well, I dunno about that, LOL. Please forgive my bad photography and my bad stitch lines, i'm still learning and this is only my second solo completed piece of anything <grin>. I had a heckuva time figuring out how to shape the loops and affix the loops onto the sheath easily. Please any suggestions I really would appreciate some advice and critique. Also, how do you all figure out how much thread you'll need when starting your sewing? I find I often run short, and darn, if I didn't break 6 needles when pulling the needle through the leather. I do know how to improve my stitch line, I just got carried away trying to make my last smaller/less wide, as he wanted the sheath as narrow as possible, and I ended up trying to set my holes along the profile of the knife, which obviously was wrong. Thanks in advance!! Jeff

Thanks a bunch for the welcome, Doc! Jeff

Hello! My name is Jeff. I'm very much a newbie to leather work. To date, i've made only 3 knife sheaths. Boy, I definitely have alot to learn, but can tell growth with each one i've made so far! I'm very hopeful to learn from you all. Thank you for letting me join you all here. Jeff
