Anna Report post Posted February 26, 2013 Please take a look, but also, feel free to give me any advice or critiques. These are the first pair of fancy chaps I have made, so far. They were great fun to design and make, I am so proud that they are still whole and not a pile on the floor somewhere! The filigree on the tops and bottoms was a first for me, so I am sure there are teniques to doing this easier. Also sewing the name on and the metalic leathers in general was a new experience as all I have done before this was working type chaps. Anyway I hope you like them, and any advice to make the next pair I do even better, would be awesome! Anna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oltoot Report post Posted February 27, 2013 Grrrrrreat! Just a little advice, if you are going to filagree pick a pattern with fewer or smaller or both background areas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anna Report post Posted February 27, 2013 Thank you everyone for such encuraging and nice comments! And thank you for the advice about the filagree from Oltoot, when I was drawing out the pattern I had no idea what size to make the background areas.
