On a more serious note, I did one long ago with a simple FLAPS leather wrap cover that was sew on with thread and two needles. Simple but requires patience.

Here is link to what you seek including a complete recover - be warned that appears to be a dead link.

Stay away from any kits from Alan Gun that are resold in several places. I bought a padded RS kit directly from him. The kit was complete with a nice quality piece of leather but the holes looked like they had been punched by a drunken monkey. I managed to make it work but it wasn't easy.
