Butch Report post Posted November 30, 2008 First and foremost I want to thank ArtS for his Chap Purse article in LCSJ. I made this one for my sister for Christmas and I hope she'll like it. I definitely need to work on fringe. Thanks again Art. Butch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MADMAX22 Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Very nice. Good choice with the little white/tan? strips, a very nice little addition of some lighter colors. Good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cdthayer Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Nice job! I like the look. Just out of curiosity, what is the length from top to bottom of the "chap", not counting the fringe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArtS Report post Posted November 30, 2008 Came out really nice! Good job. Glad I could help. CDTHAYER; it's 12 1/2" plus 5" of fringe. See attached picture. Art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butch Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks for all of the comments. I'm happy with most of it, but then again I guess we're our worst critic. I'm not too sure that I'd use the leather I used for the chap again, but it was scrap leather that I had. Thanks again Art for the additional instructions.

yaklady Report post Posted December 1, 2008 That is one of the coolest purses I've ever seen! At the motor cycle shop, they make purses that look like a little leather jacket. They're awfully cute. May I make a suggestion? On your next chap purse, make the name smaller and put some of your tooling on the front. Your tooling is so nice, you want to show it off!

Butch Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks Kathy. Point taken and I think you're spot on. Thanks for the idea. Butch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
