Wardlaw's Dragoones

Gruff

I've put together this very rudimentary Baldric - mainly because I didn't want to stuff my sword into a modern belt again when I do a year 8 lesson. The stitching isn't super neat but it's strong and does the job. I bought a kit from Bowstock and followed the instructions provided. It wasn't as difficult as I imagined but when I go the the re-enactors fair I might get an edge shave and some burnishing fluid so I can give it a proper finish.

Anyhow, here's some pics of the finished article:

Looking good. Better than any of my attempts at the like - I leave that to Gordon - he's the practical one in the family.

Abbey wants me to try and make some Cockers! I don't think she quite realises how much work that will be - especially as I would have to master Butt-stitch, which is not easy.

What I actually said was that he should practice until he is good enough to make us some cockers!! Smile

I don't see what the fuss is about - I made him a doublet!

Superb stuff. What a house full of talent.

And terribly garish sofas!

Sofas? Plural? Where have you been hiding the other one?

The only problem is that I now want lots more leather so I can make things!
