Hi- I have always wanted to order a pattern and I finally did.
My mom made the hood and I absolutely love it. Thanks for offering these great
products. The mini's name is Safari and he loved the hood too--he stood
perfectly still, even though he probably never wore a hood in his life. Thanks again. Alexann
Saddle pads made using our new and updated Pattern 7158
Here’s the
all-purpose square pad made using a cotton twill for the outer layer, a
double thickness of an old mattress pad for the inner layer, and
brushed cotton twill for the under layer:
I wanted the straps to match the pad, so I used a double layer of grosgrain ribbon. The cute trim gives the pad some “pop”!
For this square
dressage pad I used a double layer of double-faced prequilted cotton.
I found a stray piece of light blue faux fleece in my stash and decided
to put it on the top of the pad, using the half pad shape. I left off
the billet straps:
Here’s a dressage
half pad also made with a double layer of prequilted cotton, plus I
used an old waterbed mattress pad for an extra layer in between.
(Obviously I never throw away a mattress pad!) The underside is a
thick faux fleece. I eliminated the folded-back fleece on the front
because the pad fit a particular saddle better without it.
This is a close contact faux fleece pad- it’s been well used but still looks pretty good!
This trail pad was made using the old pattern- the new version is a bit longer. This pad has seen some miles on the trail:
We hope that you have fun using your own creative ideas to customize the perfect pad.
