You might take a look at leatherworker.net. Tons of info on leather stuff over there, and nice folks.
If you're really just beginning, I'd suggest finding a book called The Art of Hand Sewing Leather, by Al Stohlman. Cheap, short, but very, very useful.
Chuck Burrows was a friend of mine, and his DVD on sheath making is the very best. Even people who have made sheaths for years learn from it. You can still find copies floating around Ebay or other parts of the internet. Worth every penny. "Custom Knife Sheaths with Chuck Burrows". He also made a good one on holsters.
Paul Long is an absolute magician with sheaths. He produced a couple of very good DVDs. "Leather Tips From A Master", and "Advanced Blade Sheaths".
Look on Tandy leather's web site. They have a ton of books with patterns and such. Sometimes they have free stuff, too.
