My first gun belt for my with a holster for my 1911 stiched on tippmann boss. Loops are for my .357 that I'm in the process of making a holster for and 1911 mag pouch with the same pine cone pattern. I used a pattern out of Al Stohlman inverted carving book

That is very nice work.  I have got to do something with that design sometime.

Great work, I like that pattern a lot.  Not as busy as some of the other stuff I've seen.

Man that is gorgeous!! I've been tossing around the idea of making a rig similar to this for my 1911's.......I'm just not that confident in my abilities!! Short of buying a book, I haven't been able to find a template for the belt! 

 

Are the loops stitched between the two belt leathers?

You can find a pretty good pattern pack for buscadero style belts through tandy or ebay. It pretty much has all the F.O. Baird patterns for a number of different style holsters and belts. 

For the loops I punched 1in slots and stripped a 1in strap thinned down to about 4oz. Dampen strap, rivet on one end, feed strap through slots stretching it around cartridges and then rivet on opposite end. I take a block of wood wide as the gap between cartridges and tap down the gap. Applied contact cement on back side and liner then stitched around belt
