whenever I need to do yardwork or go out in the donk pen I always end up filthy! So I decided to make some chaps today since it's raining outside. I'm also going to fabric a skirt or kilt type thingy to wear when it's raining so my butt won't get wet. But when it's dry I'll just wear the chaps, they should help to keep me a bit cleaner!
So here are some pics of the fabrication of the chaps. I used 600D waterproof polyduck-thus why I didn't make 'rain pants', this material doesn't really breathe, so chaps were really my only option.
I had gotten a good deal on this fabric, but hadn't really used much of it - I got 5yards!! LOL
So here's my new home made chaps! - oh ya, no pattern, winged it lol
