Want To Learn To Do Items For Horses And Riders

[aguilerag]

This is my first attempt at making spur straps.

I had a piece of leather that was not very good so I just did this for practice to try to learn a pattern. If anyone can give some advice on how and where to get patterns or where a good place to start would be I would appreciate it.

Thank you

It"s a very nice start !

I got a few patterns from a saddlery where I use to work, but most of them I did get them from Leather crafters and saddlers journal ( http://www.leathercraftersjournal.com/ ) and Tandy. They come often with explanation & pictures, so it's help a lot . In the journal they always have nice little to bigger project that can teach you something, even about saddlery or tacks.

Have fun !!!

Thank you Lithops.

I am going to subscribe to the journal. I appreciate the advice.

here is the updated experiment. I think they turned out alright and I know I have a long way to go.
