This is my attempt at a holster for my son's Ruger SR22. I didn't have any patterns so I just grabbed some leather and got at it. It's hand stitched. Makes me want a sewing machine more. I did.learn a few things making this, so it was worth while .

First Belt
Fordpkup replied to Bob Blea's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I really liked your belt. I made the mistake of showing it to my wife. Now she wants me to make her one. I told her I didn't have the conchos and she told me she'd help me find some she liked. Looks like I'd learn. -
3Rd Attempt At A Belt
Fordpkup replied to Jimbosmith's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Your belt looks like some of the first ones I made. I'm working on one now that will be dyed desert tan and lined with pigskin and hand stitched. I'll post pictures when I finish. I started making belts for customers when they saw my first belts. I was a little nervous about making any for someone else but the more I do the easier it gets. -
I have a homemade stitching pony. I practiced for hours on scrap leather. I am still striving to improve and I don't get in a hurry. Not getting in a hurry is important to me. I figure a little speed will come with time. I've had some jaws drop when I tell them it's hand stitched. That's more important than speed and shoddy work.

Like the dye. Nice job. -
Card Wallet
Fordpkup replied to Quillleather's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I made one of these for a customer. It surprized me how much they looked alike. My circles are a little larger and I did a single stitch. I made the pattern based on what the customer asked for. -
I've bought from him with no problems. I will probably order a side in a day or two.

If I get in hurry for some dye or something I order from them. Like I said he ships fast.
