Members Anna Posted February 26, 2013 Members Report Posted February 26, 2013 Please take a look, but also, feel free to give me any advice or critiques. These are the first pair of fancy chaps I have made, so far. They were great fun to design and make, I am so proud that they are still whole and not a pile on the floor somewhere! The filigree on the tops and bottoms was a first for me, so I am sure there are teniques to doing this easier. Also sewing the name on and the metalic leathers in general was a new experience as all I have done before this was working type chaps. Anyway I hope you like them, and any advice to make the next pair I do even better, would be awesome! Anna Quote C-Spear Cowboy Gear

Members Cogs Posted February 27, 2013 Members Report Posted February 27, 2013 I don't think you need any advice. I think you're "spot-on"! That's award winning stuff! Good luck trying to out do that on your next pair! Bill Quote Leather has it's own natural flaws... So does the artist! :}
