Thanks all! I got my pattern from Suitability today and
can hardly wait to get to work. As soon
as I get the instruction manual for the many decades old sewing machine that I
bought!

could use your araits as a
pattern also. lay flat , use newspaper to mark it.I made a pair off of my
suede ones. That little flair in front is important, or you can cut a
triangle.Velcro works great. Just make sure you sew leather onto the velcro for
strength as the velcro by itself seems to get worn with time. Lauriee and
