chestercheeto Report post Posted November 20, 2009 Thankyou Deno...but I was just looking for a blank pattern with nothing on it.I did some looking and found this pattern...it's for a football buckle....but it's the blank pattern I wanted for tracing and cutout.Thanks! http://www.tandyleat...=Complex_Link_9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yona Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Why not trace the pattern on clear acetate....from the buckle blank and add enough for stitching or laceing......been doing it that way since 1971! Then add your pattern....put it over a floral or whatever design align it and trace! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeCahill Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Hi everyone.I have large and small buckle blanks and would like to get a pattern for the covers as I want to make a set up for a belt.Same as the ones pictured here: Thanks! cover the belt buckle with gaffa tape, trim the excess tape all round the edge with a sharp knife, peel the tape off and stick it on a piece of paper, bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt, that is your pattern the lace holes are round the edge of the gaffa tape, add 1/4" all round, for material thickness to lace over. Works with any shape or size of buckle. This style of pattern is called a sloaper, the name comes from dressmaking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works with any shape or size of buckle. This style of pattern is called a sloaper, the name comes from dressmaking Just noticed that the buckle has holes all round it for lacing, forget what I said about adding a 1/4" round the outside, just trim it to size, rub the gaffa tape with your thumb before peeling it off the buckle, it will leave indentations where the holes are, then go round with a pencil and puncture the tape where each hole is, the holes will close up when you stick it to the paper, but you will still be able to see where they are. Providing you are gentle, and don't stretch the tape when peeling it off, you will have 100% accuracy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
