This cover was fun to make. I hope you like it.

Wow, looks awesome!

Please add me to your list as I would purchase one as well. Thank you

I have the one from Tandy and it is great for rounding off corners and strap ends.

Very nice, well done!

This is really nice. I like the Sam Browne stud closures you have used

Very nice!

I will check out the Conway buckles for the straps, thank you for the suggestion. I didn't make the saddle, I only wish I had that much talent and ability! The chair backs aren't mine either, but I love the idea and have it tucked away in my "idea" book for future projects. I am proud of the colour match on the bags though, that I can take credit for. Thank you for the great ideas and kudos!

Thank you THein, that's a good idea, cleaner look

Just about finished my first set of saddlebags. I made these using a set of the owners old nylon bags for reference. I stitched these all by hand. Learned a lot from this experience. I'm getting better with the copper rivets. The next set I make will have extra length on the top of the gussets to fold over whatever is in the bag, to keep contents from working their way out. The next set will also have a "tab" extension to tuck under the seat of the saddle to keep the bags from shifting. i need to touch up some of the dye on the strap holes and final finishing polish and buff. I can't wait to do another set as I should have my new Techsew in another week!

Very nice. Love the idea.

Very nice!

As Eddie said, I like your idea for the closure.....nice work also!

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful work.

Really nice

Chief, I've purchased sheepskin items from a shop on Etsy.com. You could send them a message and see what they could do for you. They are located in Connecticut. https://www.etsy.com/shop/goldenfleecefashons Good luck

Beautiful ...

Very nice, great work!

Hillbilly Tim, I use my own beeswax / neatsfoot oil mix to finish some items. What I've found is that you need to use a quality beeswax, (sorry Tandy). I buy from a local beekeeper and the difference IMHO is noticeable. I use a small mason jar, resting in a saucepan with about an inch of water. It's important to have the jar resting on something, not on the pan itself as it will jiggle around and could break. I've used a couple of skewers lying in the pan to keep the jar raised. Then I melt 3 parts wax to 1 part neatsfoot in the jar on a gentle boil Next, I use cup cake liners in muffin tins and pour the wax into these, let them cool and I have nice little wax cakes. The consistency is very similar to shoe polish. It took a little experimenting to get the right consistency. Note that if your first batch is too hard or too soft, just start the process again and add more of the wax or oil to achieve the result you like. I actually re-purposed some wax coated cupcake liners and these work amazing, you can use them over and over again. Hope this makes some sense....

I'm glad I was able to fix the technical difficulties........Thank you for the kind reviews...

One of a few harmonica cases I've done. They are really fun and functional, we hope you like them.

What a great idea! Thank you for sharing.

As Tom said, welcome from another Calgarian.

Beautiful!
