mlapaglia Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 I was asked to create a pattern with instructions for an upcoming community collage course. Please take a look at this. Comments are welcome. I tend to get long winded with explaining things. Feel free to use the pattern if you want to make one. This is targeted for a beginning leather student. Someone that has made a kit or two. Michael Click here for PDF pattern Quote

Your stitch length; are you actually holding the leather together with that close of a stitch length and that large of a thread?? Just curious. Quote

mlapaglia Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Posted November 30, 2011 What is the need to case a knife sheath for a flat knife? Your stitch length; are you actually holding the leather together with that close of a stitch length and that large of a thread?? Just curious. They need to have the leather wet in order to transfer all the lines and marks from the pattern and the instructor requested that I not use terms like dampen or quick case when referring to dealing with the complete piece of leather . If they are going to tool the knife, something i did on the example, they need to have it cased for that too. Yes, the stitch length and thread size is holding the sheath together. I put one together without any cement and it held fine. I have used that thread and stitch length on holsters and it works great. 6 stitches per inch is pretty standard for that size of leather and the thread is what they will have available to them to use. I didn't want to list something like irish linen 4 cord, 0.7mm which is what I used. Do you see a problem I am not seeing with this? Michael Quote
Members LuisPaulo Posted November 30, 2011 Members Report Posted November 30, 2011 It is OK for a begginer course. I give (is this the correct word ?? ) some classes and teach the students to make a pouch style sheath, because it is easier. But for this kind of knife is THE better option. Quote
Tinneal Posted November 30, 2011 Report Posted November 30, 2011 Great tutorial! I will definitely be referring to it, myself! Quote

They cover those two points in the session before this one. So its been taken care of. if it had not been covered already you would have a very valid point. I have corrected the master for point 2 and 3. Im not sure I can change it here but if I figure it out Ill upload the newer version. thanks Michael It is OK for a begginer course.

Members gunter Posted November 30, 2011 Members Report Posted November 30, 2011 great tutorial and thanks for the pattern ;-) Quote
mlapaglia Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) great tutorial and thanks for the pattern ;-) Your welcome. FYI Everyone,I just noticed that the materials list has a problem. its 12 feet of thread not 12 yards. oops. Actually its about 8.5 feet but Id rather list a little more than not enough. but 36 feet is a bit much I have a corrected version here. Updated version Its just the typos corrected. If you have the original you don't need this one but you are welcome to it. Michael Edited December 1, 2011 by mlapaglia Quote
Members Wishful Posted December 1, 2011 Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Mlapaglia, I had a typo too, I meant to say It is easy to understand. The only other suggestion would be to include more pix but what you have is a great reference. Edited December 1, 2011 by Wishful Quote
