Contributing Member JLSleather Posted December 30, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted December 30, 2020 When using paper patterns, I only mark ONE side. If I'm making a rightey holster, I need to see the WRITING (RIGHTing). If I don't see the WRITING, then either the leather or the paper is back-ards. Course, on our patterns it actually says "left" n "right" hand, cuz not everybody does things same way. If it's LEFT, then the pattern SAYS left. Then, that don't prevent a fella having the leather backards. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Contributing Member fredk Posted December 30, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted December 30, 2020 On some patterns I write a bit more; like, 'this side up, other side to flesh' If the item is 'handed' then I add '. . . for Right Hand, turn over for Left Hand' Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
garypl Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Posted December 30, 2020 Good points made and I have since started writing clearly on my patterns what they are and which side of the leather they need to be transferred to! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
