thx! I am working on the pattern files for it now, and I will post them up with instructions, hopefully in the next week or so.
I did not stitch it, I used contact cement to glue it together. It's made from a single piece of leather folded down onto itself. I looked at a couple different ways of doing it and decided on this method because 1) I could not find any reference to indicate that the movie version had stitching on it and 2) the front gets 3 leather pieces folded on top of each other, so it gets pretty thick.
I can tell you that if you size the holster to your blaster right and make sure it is tight when assembled, cement is strong enough to hold it very tightly without any issue. I can hold it upside down and the blaster won't move at all, it's very snug, but when worn, you can pull it out no problem. Of course, you could always add stitching if you wanted. I'd really love to see how a pro leather person would do this, since this is only the 3rd leather piece I've ever made.
Here is the final version of it with the strap sized.
