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

Members oltoot Posted February 27, 2013 Members Report Posted February 27, 2013 Grrrrrreat! Just a little advice, if you are going to filagree pick a pattern with fewer or smaller or both background areas Quote
