Just finished these IWB holsters for my SP101 3 inch

[Tallbald]

Well I'm learning quickly on my new Cowboy leather sewing machine, and would like to share here pictures of two IWB holsters I've come up with for my 3 inch SP101. A little rearward cant on one and a vertical orientation on the other gives me some choices. I use vegetable tanned 8-9 ounce Hermann Oak leather. My black is from home-brewed "vinegaroon", with my brown coming from a super strong tea and coffee mixture I make. I enjoy combining both old and new techniques in my holsters, and since due to arthritis and other physical problems I can't hand stitch my leather any more, my loving wife Penny urged me to buy a sewing machine with some of our retirement funds. My finish is almost exclusively pure neatsfoot oil worked in to soften and strengthen, followed by a triple topcoat of rubbed 50/50 mix beeswax and neatsfoot oil I make which gives them a soft low maintenance sheen I like. I'm moving on to the full flap styles I most enjoy for my CZ75B, several Ruger revolvers and especially my Ruger Old Army 7 1/2 inch adjustable sight versions. I'll post as I make them. Thanks for looking, and all constructive criticisms are really appreciated.

nice holsters too.

Very nice indeed. I still sew by hand (saddle stitch). I am not into production so the extra time it takes is of no concern to me.

Good, now you can get those pavers laid.

Nice...are you going to sell any of these? Looks like a rear canted one would be good for appendix carry.
