First try at holster making, please don't laugh too hard

Ah, now I see the shield!! Excellent fit that it isn't visible in the first pic. Now, about the computer classes...to have the pic show up like this, the only thing you need to copy and paste is the part that looks like this---> blah blah blah yackety smack , and leave out all the parts with <center>, etc.

here's my first, chrome tanned leather and all . I made it nap out to better grab me and my clothing. On day I'll get around to remaking it in veg tan, same patter...but neater.

With a full size pistol, one thing I've learned is to make the holster a little 'fat' to allow muzzle swing on the draw. With a shorty, it's no issue at all.

Notice how I "accidentally" cut my self off in the photo to hide my gut. Something to learn and remember, grasshopper.

I have seen a couple different people comment on his thread color. If my eyes don't decieve me it is a natural or sinew color, am i right ? I guess my point is that i have been using alot of natural color, artificial sinew lately and like the color contrast, at least with mahogany dye. I guess you guys don't like it as well. By the way does anyine know what artificial sinew is made of?

Thanks for all of the kind comments and suggestions, I really appreciate. Yes it is the natural color but when I did the went molding the dye put like a light orange tint to it. I think I am going to go with the black thread after I get the hang of it, I think the darker color would hide some of my sewing problems. I'm in the middle of doing another one right now and I'm going to went mold it and then dye it tomorrow and see how that works. I can see already this is going to be addicting.
