Making a Leather Cross draw pancake holster for small frame revolvers

I made this holster pattern for small frame revolvers like S&W J frame revolvers (Models 36, 60, 440, 442, 640, 642), and other small five shot revolvers like the Taurus 85. It will NOT fit the Ruger LCR because of the larger trigger guard. I had been procrastinating about making a holster to test the pattern until my dog tried to eat the pattern pieces. Then I decided I should get it done and digitize the pattern before I lost it.
You can purchase this pattern and the strong side version in our Etsy store. bransonsgenera...

Very nice holster! I just made a holster for my Taurus 605 TORO (has a red dot optic on top). It took me almost four different designs to get it to get it mostly right. I really appreciate your videos for ideas and tips. Thank you!
