Jack1970 Report post Posted November 7, 2018 Hi folks, Thought I'd share my latest belt. It's a Don Gonzales pattern that I had a great time tooling and putting together. I thought it turned out pretty decent. White thread was all I had on hand and I thought I'd like it. I thought it would pop...but I think I'll be happier when it picks up a little dust and dirt. It's a little much. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bdpeters Report post Posted November 8, 2018 you should be proud. great job on all of it. I love the pattern too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdpeters Report post Posted November 8, 2018 oh I forgot to ask what you used to color the flower centers? very vivid. I have seen some of Don's patterns and they seem to lend themselves well to vivid colors and the dark background. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike6642 Report post Posted November 9, 2018 That is a very nice belt, I made a hundred belts , but that belt you made is special in my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustyj58 Report post Posted November 11, 2018 Looks awesome! DG is the BOMB!!!! I love his videos and instruction. What did you line the belt with? I either miss or skip over the liner part in his videos. I have the same patterns and I plan on actually making one for MYSELF for a change! Again, Really nice work.

Yeah, I agree, Don's patterns are great for lots of contrast. On 11/7/2018 at 10:22 PM, BlakesBlades said: Nice job, it looks fantastic! Thanks, @BlakesBlades!

I love his videos and instruction, too! He makes it look easy! lol! I just lined it with 3-4 0z vegtan. You should totally make one for yourself! I've made 3 different belts for myself and I'm always switching around and wearing a different one to work everyday. Be sure and post pics when you get it done!

BrotherRon Report post Posted November 18, 2018 Absolutely awesome. Is this belt hand stitched? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Fantastic! When I grow up, I want to be Don Gonzales. I'm 65, to it MIGHT be too late, but I'm workin' on it! I loved the orange centers, too. Totally ups the the belt, for sure. Jeff Hey! The white will wear to a nice buff color, but a buff color would wear to a brown! You nailed it!
