Members Colt W Knight Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Earlier this year, my parents came to visit, and I made a gunbelt and holster for my dad. While dad and I were looking at leather, mom starts stacking up leather and hardware on the counter and says, you can make me a purse with this. I agreed to make her one since I was making a holster for dad. She loved, and shared pictures everything, and I ended up making another for a Cattle Growers convention auction. Then my mom wanted another one in a different color, then my uncle wanted one for my aunt, then my mom wanted me to make purses for family members for Christmas. I finaly finished them all, and I am done with purses. Quote
Northmount Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Very nice, even if you don't feel like making more right now, I'm sure you will later. But I agree, after making the same sort of thing several times, it is nice to move on to something else for a time. Tom Quote
Members Rohn Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Those all look nice Colt. Did you have a pattern or did you just make up you own? Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Members Windrider30 Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Really like all of those! Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted October 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Those all look nice Colt. Did you have a pattern or did you just make up you own? THanks This was all original. I cut up an old Zales paper bag to make the body template. The pockets were trial and error. I wanted to make them draw string purses, and ended up using a Bolo tie because I didn't know how to make a tassle to terminate a braided cord. Quote
Members Rohn Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks for the reply Colt. My wife is interested in making some purses and I'm going to show these to her. Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Boriqua Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Those look GREAT! Love em. Where did you get the liner material. Nice choices. I would say my friend that you may have a knack for these so I wouldnt be so quick to give up on them. Quote

Members rosiart Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Very nice and I'll bet they are a hit. It"s a little hard to tell, but what are the dimensions of these? Quote Rosemary RosiArt's Blog
Members Colt W Knight Posted October 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Very nice and I'll bet they are a hit. It"s a little hard to tell, but what are the dimensions of these? They are about 9 inches tall. Quote
