Not yet !! that has to come this weekend. I can't keep up with demand so I gotta do some work before I can pull out all my patterns and start chopping. For some reason people are excited about the silly things I make and I cant make it fast enough..... But a choppin I will be this weekend!! Oh a choppin I will be.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 11, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 11, 2016 That works! "cant keep up" is good .. long as it aint continuous, non-stop thing. Quote
Reegesc Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 Thank you for the perfect pattern. +5 Good Luck Parking Spots Karma. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 12, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Welcome - glad to do it. See, this is how it's done... ya git a free pattern, then ya make the holster, then you either use the holster or sell it and pocket the money yerself. Then when ya come back to the forums, ya POST A PIC Edited August 12, 2016 by JLSleather Quote
Reegesc Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Exactly. The way I figure it is that If someone is kind enough to give you a pattern for free, the least you can do is either provide a photo of how it turned it out or a pic how much money you're making off their generosity.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 12, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 12, 2016 Usedta call that "feedback" No worries.-- I was just ribbin' these boys round here a bit Quote
Reegesc Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Nah, I get it. I have a tutorial here as well that has thousands of downloads as well and I wonder sometimes what happened to the courtesy of at least saying thank you? That's the price of Sainthood I suppose. We give till it hurts and then give some more Btw, "Saint JLS" doesn't quite work though, does it? Have you considered.... "Saint Jimbo"? That has a nice ring and looks like it's available too. I must say though, 40,000 downloads is impressive as hell. My hat's off to ya. Edited August 12, 2016 by cseeger Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 13, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 13, 2016 Yep, normal. 40,000+ downloads going to pretty much every part of the planet, and about 25 popped in to say 'thanks' No worries.. they's prolly off makin up holsters! Quote
Members mayhem Posted August 13, 2016 Members Report Posted August 13, 2016 Love the patterns thanks JLS Quote

Here ya have it. Oh, wait ... tha's that OTHER new one. Anyway, the mag pouch is comin' up shortly too. Okay, tha's a little better Quote
Boriqua Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Hey .. I forgot my contribution to the Thank you Jeff for cool patterns thread !! Not my best but this was an earlier one when I was trying out his wonderful contribution to my knowledge base!! Thanks Man! Edited August 15, 2016 by Boriqua Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 15, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) That ther's lookin purdy good. Have ya ever considered chopping off the front of yer pattern and bendin it 'round the other side! Just common sense, really... if you got a '50/50' pancake (seams in the center line) then it goes 'half way' around, back to the center line. So, an "avenger" style holster is already 'done", just missing the belt loop / stiffer upper portion. Yes, I know you followed this already, Alex... this is for the next guy comes along! Edited August 15, 2016 by JLSleather Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 20, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 20, 2016 Avenger style pattern for the 3" XDs now up on cutesy. 1911 .45 double mag is cut out, and I'll be stitchin' that later today wihen I got white thread in the machine. Gotta use the white, so folks can see it on the black scrap and maybe take advantage of the "look" and make their own like it. Think maybe I'll charge $1 for this one -- just think of it as compensating Jeff for the time. Keep in mind, though.. I'm not that bright AND I'm slow, so we're gonna need a LOT of the boys kickin in a buckl Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2016 Yeah, just as i suspected. This thing for the double mag is WAY too long front to back 7"+. You could trim a bit here n there, but I'm scrappin' it... much nicer just put a snap-on loop on the back... easier off 'n' on AND take up less belt space. I stuck white thread in black leather so you fellas could easily track whazup... but I don't like even the idea. Gonna go a different way. Still, I'll purdy up the pattern for those who care to do this one. Quote
Reegesc Posted August 21, 2016 Report Posted August 21, 2016 I agree. Here's the one I made to go with my Buddy's holster and it ended up a little wider than the holster. Visually it looks out of proportion relative to the mass of a holstered pistol. I like your idea of a snap on loop or even a clip. I'm gonna try that next time. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2016 Yep, that's what took me so long to get around to it, too. Kept thinkin' I know I aint gonna like it! On a strip this wide, should be able to carry THREE mags. The reasoning was .... same 1/1/2" slots as the pistol similar look to the pistol enough room between mags to clear each other (which I then widened a bit to help allow it to "flex' on the belt) simple construction But I can see where this would be a pain in the back, even though on your side. So I'll re-work it. Loops would allow room for tension screws and STILL not be this big. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 21, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2016 FWIW... Do with it as you see fit. This is 'as shown', and I'll be not making this until it's fixed. 1911fail.pdf Quote

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 22, 2016 Author Contributing Member Report Posted August 22, 2016 You don't seem to be very good at this. I think that when selling on the 'black market' , fella sposedta NOT post in on the forums Quote

Reegesc Posted August 22, 2016 Report Posted August 22, 2016 "Mongolian Pleather Purse Guild" Now that's funny right there. I don't care who you are, that's funny! Quote
Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted August 22, 2016 Members Report Posted August 22, 2016 I've had a couple of requests for pancake holsters, so many thanks for your patterns. More importantly, many thanks for your 101 stuff. I shall attempt to remember to take and upload pictures of the finished holsters. Thanks again. Maureen Quote
