Workshop Description: Let’s draft a pattern for a pair of shotgun chaps! This class will teach you how to take measurements, and then apply measurements to make a pattern for a particular person. We will go over fit, details in fitting including types of leather and how different things like pockets affect fit. You will get a pattern to take home with you and instructions on what the class went over. Generally, we also get to talk about construction order and techniques used to build chaps. Please feel free to bring chaps that you have built so we can go over them. My goal for each student is to give them a good base to go from so they can add to details and learn in an easy format and manner. Please don’t hesitate to get ahold of me if you have any questions ahead of time! jbldleatherschool@gmail.com
Materials to bring: Tape measure, cloth tape, 6 x 24″ Omni Quilters grid, pencils, eraser, notebook. (Please put your name on your grid.)
