You will need a piece of leather 12" by 36" in 11 to 15 oz. thickness so that it will be thick enough to retain it's shape instead of collapsing in the middle.
I took a piece of poster paper and made one until I got it right, then used the thing as a template to cut the pattern from the leather.
The holes that have the lacing that hold everything together are spaced at 1/2" spacing, from the top to the bottom. From the same store I mentioned above, you can buy a 48" strap that's 1' wide for the shoulder strap, and they also sell the leather lacing. The only other thing I can recommend is a sharp utility knife, a good hole punch, and if you need anything else just give me a shout. Would sure like to see some pictures.
