Pappys Leather Report post Posted October 7, 2022 My latest finished one. Thinking I need to get a sewing machine and learn how to use it. Take a while to stitch theses by hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Case looks great. /dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chux Report post Posted October 8, 2022 That is a LOT of hand stitching!! My hands hurt just thinking about it! I bought a sewing machine and thought it was going to be super easy to use...but I've never used one before and it's not as easy as I thought it was going to be honestly... I'm still forcing myself to try and use it but mainly still hand stitch, for me it's like a catch 22...sigh... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hags Report post Posted October 8, 2022 Yep, a lot of stitching! When I started doi g more holsters I decided to pull the trigger on a Cobra. Arthritis. There was a learning curve, but pretty easy now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drumhack Report post Posted October 16, 2022 Very nice! If I may ask, as one of the reasons I joined was to make a scabbard for my Henry .44 mag carbine, is what size leather did you use and is there some kind of liner in there? My Henry is hardened brass and I'm a little worried about it getting scratched up on the leather. Again, scabbard looks great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokenolmarine Report post Posted October 16, 2022 I bought a machine, and it's taken some time to get confident in it's use. There are so many things going on, and with a machine, things happen quickly. I finally felt confident enough today to sew a major project on it, instead of practice. It's nice, but my pucker factor will be high for a while, and I will be sewing slow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
