Leather Pouch Sheath Tutorial

[B. Norris 10]

Noah,

 

My process is a bit different every time I make a sheath. Mainly because, every time I make a sheath I forget to do something or, I've learned something new about leatherworking. The worst one was stitching the sheath up before stitching the belt loop on. In fact, that is part of the reason for this tutorial because, now, whenever I need to put a sheath together, I can just look at this thread on the forum and jog my memory. Oh well, get a few thousand of these under my belt and then I'll be able to do them in my sleep!

I know that this is an older thread, but would it be possible to pin this? It was so informative, and there was obviously a lot of effort put into it.

I agree with Josh, this would be an excellent thread to pin/highlight.

Great stuff!
im working on my first leather sheath rn and was wondering what to do about the edge of the blade slicing the stitches.

That's what the welt strip is for.
