Question About Tandy Pistol Caddy Pattern

[johnggrg]

Well I have some sheepskin fur to use on the inside but having some trouble figuring out how the Gusset goes in at one end.. It has a cut out at one end that seems to be the size of the zipper but the gusset is alot bigger. So if anyone has done this caddy before or has the pattern to look at can you tell me know how this attaches at the end I mentioned? It would be a great help. I really hate how these patterns are so vague in the instructions. Thank you. John.

Anyone??

I would use a zipper that is two inches too long on each end. Tuck the zipper between the liner and outter leather. Glue the end in so that it does not slip out. It will be impossible to overzip the end since it will hit the leather, but it will fully open when totally unzipped. Your sewing will simply end at the edge of the fold.

Does that make since? It does to me, but I wrote it.

Hi Aaron thanks that part I got. If you know the pattern I have. The bigger end of the caddy has a slit in the middle the size of the zipper. The gusset end is round whith the zipper slit in the center with a 1/2 inch at each end of the gusset.

Now I kmow the gusset gets sewed to the edge of the back and front all the way around. But when it comes to the bigger end. There is the slit. inthe middle at the.

So if the gusset is sewed to the edge all the way aound. How do you sew the end where the slit is?

If someone had the pattern they could see what I mean and may know how to sew that end of the gusset. John

Looking at this some more and realize I am not sure how this gusset goes in at all. This pattern came in a gun belt holster pattern pack. It is very common. I thought someone here may be able to shed some lite on this gusset issue. Now I am more confused on how it gets sewed in. If anyone hasit or has done it before can help it would be greatly appreciated. john

Does anybody have this pattern? I "really" need help with attaching the gusset please. Thank you. John

[johnggrg]

Seems like someone here would have made this with the gusset before. No one feel like sharing how the gusset goes in?? John

[johnggrg]

It seems no one can or will help with this question. Sorry to have asked. Thank you to those who did reply. Seems to be the new norm on this forum lately. I guess the real question is why have the forum at all. john

You are upset that no one has the pattern you are using? Seems to be a strange reason to get all panty bunched.

John if you look at all the topics you will find that there are hundreds of answers willingly given every day. You have asked for help it has been given some what indircetly. The stohlman books show how to install gussets. You can do a search on line I would bet that there is you tubes and other web sites then can give you some insight to doing gussets. Some times you just have to use your own brain and figure things out. This is the type of thing thatis not as popular as holsters wallets etc. Spo there may not be an overabundacne of people that have made a pistol case. I do have that pattern and will dig it up and see if I can see where you are stuck and will offer what assistance I can. However angry tants are not the best way to get assistance.
