Created this leather waist/leg bag for a lady in Wichita, KS. It was a new project that I had not created before and I just recently finished. It turned out to be very sweet and she loved it so much that she gave us one of the best reviews on our Google page.

A gentleman came to me and asked if I could make him a knife sheath like the pancake one that he had but the tip of the knife was cutting through the bottom it and the knife would not sit snug in the knife sheath. I customized a pancake knife sheath template and designed the knife sheath so that a welt went all the way around the knife to protect the bottom and sides of the knife sheath. I used the thickness of the knife itself to ensure that it made a snug fit inside the knife sheath.

It's amazing what you can do with leather.
