Well, I tried to sew a few more chicken saddles.
I was playing around with the idea of sewing a few to sell at a sale.
I've been trying to find some funky, fun material to use. Unfortunately, Terrace doesn't have that much selection in the way of denim material, so I picked out some slightly heavier canvas material. The ones that I found have quite a bit of white on them. Not crazy about the white, but, until I find something else...
These ones are double layered with canvas on top, and denim underneath. The straps are an elastic with a slit made at one end to attach to the button to do it up. I tried sewing velcro to do them up with, but I'm horrible at sewing and I have trouble sewing it onto the 1/4" strap and the velcro constantly breaks my thread. So opted out for the button.
I was going to go back to look at upholstery material. Do you guys think that type of material would work?
Also if I were to sell them, I wouldn't have a clue what to charge.
There are 3 sizes. Large, medium, and small. Small fitting silkies or booted bantams, Medium a polish sized bird, and large fits my cochins or EE's.
