Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 17, 2014 Author Contributing Member Report Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Welcome, fellas. I took a pic now that the color is dry - I mean seriously, you did't think I would post a sketch I hadn't tried out for fit? $$!@#$R@!#!# No finish on it, though .. just a 'fit tester'... Oh, the pencil stitch line is the INSIDE stitch row (closest to the weapon). The second row of stitching is a presser foot away from the first. So, just enough pic so you can see about how deep this sits in the leather, make any adjustments you like (some fellas like it set back a little further on the "business" end). This is the Springfield "1911A1" blue gun. Edited May 17, 2014 by JLSleather Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members J Hayes Posted May 17, 2014 Members Report Posted May 17, 2014 Nicely done! I noticed the 3 lines on the pattern, looks alot like my patterns, is that a manila file folder by any chance? :-) Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted May 17, 2014 Author Contributing Member Report Posted May 17, 2014 Why yes - yes it is (manila). This was a fluke. Usually I fold on the CENTER line, and then most auto's will crease (bend) right on the outside lines.(the slide on that .45 is .984, the slide on the glock 17 is about .986, the full-size M&P -- well, ya know - all bets are off with the M&P ) Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members J Hayes Posted May 17, 2014 Members Report Posted May 17, 2014 Hehehe, that stuff makes great patterns IMO. Folding on the center line is a great tip, thanks! Quote
Members wally247 Posted June 18, 2015 Members Report Posted June 18, 2015 Sorry to dig this up from the grave, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to print this full size. Whatever I do it ends up way too small. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted June 18, 2015 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 18, 2015 Yeah, I finally got off m' backside and put 'em straight in the computer. No wavy lines, no bent paper from fudgin' onto the scanner ... You got the 5" version? I'll git ya one that prints much clearer than that Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members wally247 Posted June 18, 2015 Members Report Posted June 18, 2015 Yes I'm working on a 5" Quote
