Question About Tandy Pistol Caddy Pattern

[JLSleather]

Scribe a line around the entire zipper gusset - on the grain side - about 5/16" in from the outside (3/8" won't hurt). Stitch yer zipper in like normal. \

Make a small mark on the center of each end of the gusset. End of a stylus will work - just a center mark.

Then wet the gusset leather,lay it on a table (or rock) grain side up, and use what you have (bone folder, spoon, butter knife, don't matter) to fold the edges up on the 5/16: line. Fold it up 90° all around the thing.

Make your case - carving, coloring, what.

Fold the case, line up the center marks on the case wth the center marks on the gusset, and stitch.

As designed, that case will not lay flat when open. You'll 'booger' it if you try to lay it out open. Slide the pistol in and zip the case shut.

John, I did find tat pattern, the instructions are vauge in that all they say is to glue the gusset to the caddy flesh side to flesh. Which if you lined up the center marks would mean that you glue at the edge of the gusset and the caddy first one side then the other. JLSleather's way will simplify thing for you in that you are basicaly forming a U or channel with the guset. Did you have a more specific question or problem that you encountered?
