Sixer Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Just wanted to share a couple of recent holsters I finished for the Walther PPS. A bit of ostrich and a bit of deep red snake (not sure what kind?) Feedback is always welcome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wizard of tragacanth Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Nice work... again! LOVE the red insert and thread. I had been thinking about using red thread on my next project. Hmmm, now I will have to think of something else! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sixer Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks guys! Wizard, by all means... go with the red stitching! The color is a little skewed in the pic but the red on black really pops in person. It's a nice color combo IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
particle Report post Posted November 10, 2011 Where did you get that thread, and what color is it? I bought some Henna from Weaver a couple weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Wanted something a little more red/rusty, but this is all I can find in 277 to run through my Boss. How hard is it to cut that thin strip around the edge? I've been thinking of ways to line a leather bag with fabric, and cutting a narrow trim piece like you've done is one thing I've been thinking of doing.

I've been thinking of ways to line a leather bag with fabric, and cutting a narrow trim piece like you've done is one thing I've been thinking of doing. The thread came from Maine Thread Company - http://www.mainethread.com/waxed_cord.html It's the 5ply waxed cord in "scarlet". I'm still stuck stitching everything by hand so I'm not sure how that would translate to machine thread. The narrow strip toward the top of the holster isn't that tough, but it is a bit tedious. Since it's at the top I make sure to leave a little extra leather that I can always sand down later. I've had a few where I left it a little too thin and had to start over on the top piece... just a waste of time and leather, no big deal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
