[Help With Pattern From Stohlman's Book On Holsters]

I never thought to fold it forward and then back like you show in your drawing! I think it will work now - I'll check it in the morning and let you know if everything aligns. Thanks very much for your help - I knew someone would have the answer!

It's for a S&W k frame revolver with 2" barrel. I cut out a pattern, but no matter how I fold it the edges do not line up.

Thanks for taking a look at the pattern!

This is my first post and I hope someone can help me. I attempted to make my first holster using the pattern on pg 23 of the Al Stohlman book. I cut out the pattern and did some carving on the front - my first attempt at carving and it was very enjoyable! See attached pictures (I hope they are viewable.)

I then tried to fold the pattern over to see how it would fit together and for the life of me I don't see how this will form a holster! There is a fold line to form the belt loop.

Has as anyone made this particular style holster and can help me to understand what I need to do to make it work? I think the right and left sides should almost be mirror images so they line up for sewing.

I have been reading this forum for some time and have learned an incredible amount from the members - thanks to everyone for the wonderful information!
