Leather working thread

I can't help with a 6 pattern.

This is a purse that I have been working on.

 

I've got to decide how I want to trim this arm guard down.

 

once you have a good pattern, I'd like to see a tracing so I can make one for myself.

 

I down loaded a free pattern pack from tandy leather. I felt like it was too small for me. I wrapped a sheet of paper around my arm and sketched some cut lines.

I did stuff my original paper pattern under the bench. I will dig it back out and get a pic.

 

Tandy pattern on top.




If I was to start again, I would use the tandy shape. I would follow the same lines on the sides, but extend it out on the elbow end. I would also probably shorten the wrist end to make it wider, following the original lines.



My pattern on bottom.

 

A quick holster that I made this morning for my dad's birthday. I hope it fits something, I just made it kind of universal.
