I was wondering if anyone had any clues as to what's the lowest item or items a leatherworker can produce that will actually make any profit from selling to vendor? I understand the fact that until you get to dragonscale and all that there's no major money to be made but as regards to selling to vendors when you take into account the cost of the other reagents (after I've skinned the leather myself) and the amount you get for selling the light leather as trade goods, it's worth more to just sell the raw materials instead of making things.

I don't think this ever happens -- if it does, your profits will be extremely marginal. The economics are supposed to be balanced such that if you manage to somehow make a profit off of a production profession it will be from selling to players, not vendors.
If it's money you're after, drop leatherworking altogether and auction the skin. I think Blizzard's approach has been "production professions are their own reward". You spend hundreds of gold in pursuit of profession skill points.
