        MHB, just make you're own pard, if you have done the other patterns, it's time to move on to making your own, it's not hard, and I find it fun.

I have not seen a Hide Crafters catalog in several years BUT they used to sell a series of patterns put out by Jim Simmons.  There are several good resources out there for getting started making your own, when you are ready.

I second the Hide Crafters sentiment. The Jim Simmons patterns are very nice, and have very detailed instructions as well.

Dalton, I kin see ya dont have any problems with patterns, you do fine work.
After 50 yrs. of leather I'm gonna be as good as you one day.

[Dalton Masterson]

[MontanaSlick]

Dalton, you have scraps too? Worth their weight in gold ya know.

[Dalton Masterson]

Slick, Ya wanna trade some gold for em???
Some of them thar scraps arent even stamped on, which makes them extra special!

Gold? All the gold is in Beverly Hills under somebody elses name. Yer name maybe?

Scraps I never discard, always need it fer spacers, wedges, some pieces for the cat to play with and to cover up some mistakes that no one else kin find.

Thanks fer the offer Governor Dalton

Kinda has a ring to it eh.

Here is a link to some patterns, pretty basic, more from the cowboy shooter perspective than a true leatherworker
but these are the ones that got me started.
