Handstitched Report post Posted June 5, 2011 G'Day , Its not very often that I show my stuff off , but after even impressing myself this arvo, I thought , why not:yes: . These saddle bags made to the clients requirements, won't be going on a horse, but have been slightly modified to go on a small motor bike for a charity bike run up north ( Western Australia). They look a bit too nice now to go on a motor bike. You can also see another pair in the background in the pic.( and my messy workshop) enjoy:yes: HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handstitched Report post Posted June 6, 2011 G'Day , Thank you very much, it is nice to get some feedback. I had to 'cut & paste' different parts of roses & leaf patterns , and then move them around until they looked right and suited the bags, but I am very happy with the end result. About the only thing I would do a bit different,is change the rose at the centre/ front , I had to fold the strap back into the keeper, otherwise it would cover the centre rose, but apart from that , I'm happy, and I very much enjoyed making them. ( PS. Why don't my emoticons work?...even though they show up when I type posts) have a great day HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
