Saddlebag Experiments

November 12, 2022 ~ Nichelle ~ 6 Comments

This week's project was another set of western saddlebags. It's been about 3 years since I've last made these, and I wanted to find ways to improve them this time around. One of those improvements was figuring out how to make them fully lined. This eliminated a lot of the work that goes into these … Continue reading Saddlebag Experiments

Tutorial: Neck Wreaths

December 5, 2020 ~ Nichelle ~ 6 Comments

This year I felt inspired to make some festive neck wreaths for my models. I've seen these on real horses for portrait photography, and thought it would be fun to create them in miniature.

Two sets of saddlebags were finished up this week: Even with a simplified pattern, these things are tedious to make, which is probably why I've put off making more all year. (sorry 😦 ) I liked the last version I made well enough, but still felt that some things needed to be improved. I was … Continue reading For Sale: New Saddlebags

Galaxy Saddlebags

March 9, 2019 ~ Nichelle ~ Leave a comment

Two more saddlebags were finished up today. My pattern can't use patterned fabric all over, just on the flaps and drink holders. They might be a bit overwhelming if they were completely patterned, so that's probably for the best! I've also found that these are great for using up fabric scraps that I hold on … Continue reading Galaxy Saddlebags
