Ralph Lauren Boots

[Frodo]

stumbled upon a vintage pair of ;Ralph Lauren womans western boots  with green/white inlays

VERY good condition, nearly new, Size 7C   I do not wear a size 7 nor am I a woman, so i cut them up

 

This is the end result i am going after

Interesting way to recycle old boots

I look forward to seeing the finished bag

I must say, you do have the 'creators eye' to see what can be made out of these other items

PS; that facey thingy holding the knife up scares me! Heeeerrreee's Johnny!

STOP it.  Now you are giving me ideas

I made a chest rig for AK mags last week.

Here is a picture,  Be advised,   I had to get creative  using the word ''magazine''  when posted on fakebook

Ideas worth sharing!  Thanks for coming to my ted talk 

Nice setup.  Those mags might have too many pages for most states

Was able to do a little work on this bag. 

Started out on the sides, used a baseball stitch, then cut that out and used a saddle stitch

The inside of the purse is removeable it attaches to the 2 boot straps you use to pull your boot on.

The inner piece  has a  10'' x 7'' x 2'' zippered pouch

a 5 '' x 7'' check book pouch

4- cre4dit cartd slots that will hold 4 cards each

2 round key ring holders

The back of the pouch has a 1 1/2''' strip of leather riveted this is for a holster to clip onto, 

2'' gusset made from goat

Straps are next,  then I will tighten up a few ;loose ends

Pretty ingenious, Frodo.  Never seen such.  Great idea.  Also love the magazine holders.
