Check out this video.  He offers patterns for sale in it but supplies enough information that you might not need one.

Hello All,

 

The pattern listed by bikermutt07 is a good basic pattern to use. Once you get the pattern down you can easily alter it to be more personal for you. The measurements are the standard measurement I've found over the time I've been making things.

Assuming you're using about 4 oz leather, skiving edges to about 1/2 thickness, using cement at edges, and familiar with my little carrot "witness" marks (yeah, thas how i spell it, too).

You would want Stohlmans book(s) on making cases.  The three are all good - and volume 2 specifically addresses what you're talking about.

Unlike so many these days, I don't see any wisdom in repeating what has already been so well layed out.  Guy gives you all you need to lay out a pattern to suit your size and needs... well worth the money.  In fact, smart to bookmark the leathercraft library - tons of topics and patterns. Fast, inexpensive, and easy to use.  

Thousands of articles, blogs, videos, and various social poo posts have been made about the topics covered in that simple collection -- but none of them have improved on it.  

By way of example, recently, I've been making holsters.  I got Stohlman's book on "How to Make Holsters" -- written like 60 years ago.  Today, there are thousands of videos where some genius spends half an hour - sometimes more - droning on about what Al clearly showed in one page
