How I make saddle padds

Yo ! While I was making the saddle padd I showed you yesterday, I thought : "I should make a how-to!"

So the finished product isn't perfect, it's a prototype for me (plus, it's hand sewed, t'would be much better with a sewing machine).

First, you'll need a pattern and four parts (2x colored material, 2x some padding material, I use felt)

Mark the sewing pattern.

Time to sew !

Sew the pattern.

Once the pattern is sewed on both of the two parts, cut a long part of material.

With some pins, fix the long part of fabric on a padd's side.

Sew, then repeat the process with the other side.

It looks like that from the bottom.

To cover the exposed padding, cut another part.

Then, take your biais, fix it and sew it. It's simple to do, even if you don't know how to sew biais, try your way!

Once it's sewed, it's finished !

Under a saddle.

Add some details if you want ;)

Here you are! With practice, it gets better. This one's the first I made.
