Members MillieB Posted December 27, 2017 Members Report Posted December 27, 2017 It's been a long time since I posted anything, but I'm enjoying the brief "lull" after Christmas, so I thought I'd share a bit! This is a pair of shotgun chaps I made in trade for sand for my round pen! This was my first real attempt at hand sewing. The zipper is machine-sewn, but everything else is hand sewn. The reason for the zig-zag on the brand is to keep the edges from rolling and to keep it from catching on a rope, brush, or other obstacle. So far the owner is loving them and they're holding up great to daily use. (I'm not particularly fond of the color of the chap leather, but it has mellowed out with a couple months of use.) Quote

My poor husband was heading off to do some mechanic work, and I make him hold chaps for a photo! You don't often catch that man without his Beck boots on! Quote
