Thank you! I emailed it to myself, so hopefully it works now.

I tried to originally, but it said it was to big. I’ll try again

First pair of baby moccasins I have made and first time hand sewing leather. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10212935580937352&id=1625634497&set=a.10211448127031934.1073741839.1625634497&source=48

Thank you! I will try that.

So I bought a chap/chink pattern pack from Tandy and was wondering the best way to alter it for a youth? I was wanting to build a pair for my 3 yr old, so the size difference is pretty significant. Is it better to just use a pair of his worn out jeans and cut them to make a pattern? The part that really need to know is the yokes.

Idaho is too pretty to trade! nice looking bag, I have been contemplating doing something similar but haven't worked up the courage. what part of Idaho? I'm a southern Idahoan

Looks like the you let the cat out of the bag haha but on a more serious note, looks great

How do you tan snake hides? I was wanting to learn how, because my husband kills western diamondback rattlesnakes sometimes when he is out fixing fence. He always skins them, but unfortunately we don't know what to do next, so the hides eventually go to ruin

Thanks, I actually reused the conchos from my old belt

Just a few of my recent projects. Feel free to critique! It was my first time working with acrylic on the one.

Thank you, I was pretty nervous about the coloring, because the first stain was supposed to be a mahogany color, but looked completely purple, so I used my light brown and that seemed to help out a lot. I think it turned out pretty decent.

thank you

They look too nice to be work boots! If they were mine I doubt I could bring myself to work in them.

Only meant to post this thread once, I kept getting an error sign, then it finally posted(but 3 times!). Anyone else having similar problems getting it to post and how do I delete the extra threads?

First leather rifle sling I made for my dad for Father's Day. I think it turned out alright.

First leather rifle sling I made for my dad for Father's Day. I think it turned out alright. Next time I might try to carve some wildlife into it.

It's beautiful! I plan on trying to make something similar when I get a little more experience. I actually just bought a vintage handbag kit pattern, so it's great to see an excellent example such as this fine display!

There isn't any pictures?

Thanks for the welcomeing. I knew they were both in Idaho, but had no clue where. I'll have to look at his website. I also heard Ron Rose lives somewhere around here.

Well, I guess it's about time for me to introduce myself. My name is Tessa Wisniewski (it's pronounced vee-shneff-ski and have been told it sounds like a sneeze), and I live down here in southern Idaho. I am fairly new to leathercrafting, and have really found it extremely enjoyable. So far everything I have been learning has been based off of this forum, YouTube videos, and the occasional visit to the local shoe and tack shop (They have been wonderful about letting me ask questions.) I'm married with three beautiful children, attend college, and keep plenty busy helping my husband with our livestock. My ultimate goal is to build my own saddle and maybe start up my own leather tack and saddle shop. I also enjoy hunting, fishing, horses, and about anything else that is craft oriented.

When will this class be and what is the cost?

Finished up my first bib spur straps. I forgot to bevel the edges, other critique is appreciated! Maybe should add a belt keeper too

I love seeing your holsters! Your work is just so nice and clean looking.

Thanks, this is only my second completed project.
