Working with leather (Holsters)!

Ok, so I decided to try my hand at making a holster over the weekend. I've never really worked with leather so this is all new to me. I found a few good tutorials and step-by-step instructions online that inspired me to give it a shot.

I stopped by the local Hobby & Craft shop where I picked up a bag of scrap leather and a few tools to get me started. The tool selection was pretty slim so I had to make due with what they had. My first two "creations" look like some kind of 3rd grade school project

The last two holsters I made are actually not too shabby for scrap leather. I'm really enjoying my new found hobby and look forward to being able to make decent - nice holsters for myself and friends .

I guess I would just like to hear from some of you that have leathercraft experience before I go spend the money for tools and $100 worth of leather. Any suggestions or tips for the beginner?
