PAMuzzle started following My first Buscadero, Custom belt lengths after pre-stitching leather, Needle hole size? and and 1 other
-
I wanted to make some belts for a show. I wanted to offer single and double stitched belts. Is there any way to stitch a belt blank and then cut and punch holes for someone without making a bunch of premade lengths like in stores? I've been running it thru my mind but not real sure if it can be done. Any help/ideas would be appreciated

Help with Mauser HSc holster
PAMuzzle replied to PAMuzzle's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Not out if wood, but cardboard. Stitch lines too close so tore them out. I used a piece of leather that was 1-2 oz thicker than another mockup from the same hide. Customer’s son is coming into area next weekend. May get to try it in a new mockup that fits. -
Rocky, no I have not done any finishing of edges or tapping the threads. I just started using/testing a Cobra center toe presser foot that is open in the front (much easier to see where the needle is) and it has a groover foot on the bottom to press the thread into the leather.

Jeff…Thanks…will keep thickness in mind. here is back of holster recommendation for sweat panel size/location? Belt slot is too small. I cut it quick and didn’t measure it. I am going to increase to 1-3/4” and make the panel 3/8” longer to give more room for longer slot and double stitch around it. I had trouble with machine as I was stitching and had to pull threads. I fixed the problem and restitched, so a bit messy.

COS… Dia needle…It is my first attempt at pattern…it is a OWB holster…it is a test …belt slot not cut. Also thinking of making reinforcement band wider to cover more of gun … maybe 1”? Chris…I agree, that’s why I asked…needle is marked #25 and thread is #277 Gordond…it is Dia needle. Have not ordered L needles yet. Thanks

So I tried sewing a holster. Hermann Oak veg tan 8/9 oz. #277 top and bottom #25 needle, Cowboy CB 4500. how do the holes look? Too big or just right? If you want to critique go ahead but let me know how the needle holes look. This was designing and sewing practice so edges and such have not been finished. Thanks.

Help with Mauser HSc holster
PAMuzzle replied to PAMuzzle's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
And the holster is a surprise to the gun owner from his dad. Picture of pistol is from the internet (Google images). But I will check PPK avenger style, a WWII type holster is listed for HSc and PPK. may have to get with his dad to make the mock-up. -

My first Buscadero

Yeah, the dye went from mottled light to med brown to almost black. I cut the back off and made a new belt loop and sewed it on the back. -

Good idea. I will try that. Thanks -
I just finished this for a friend at a gun club. Started out as a single gun rig, but the holster, a mexican loop type, had a bad dye job. I told him and showed him a picture of it. I had another “El Dorado” style I made for myself. He said he really liked that style and asked “ Could you change it to that style?” OK!… then he added “can you make the other holster into a crossdtaw? I’ll buy that one too, it looks nice”!!
