Cowboy

What an adorable little cowboy!

This is my little buck-a-roo Corbin. He loves to wear his cowboy boots almost on a daily basis. This year he had the opportunity to be in the Nephi Ute Stampede Parade. Well he already had the outfit minus the chaps. The cost to buy chaps... well OK I only looked at one place but they were $55! Wowza.. so instead of borrowing a pair I decided to make some. Fortunately for me I happen to have some of this leather just hanging out in my garage. Aw the joys of my husbands occupation and my Father in law's generosity.

After a trip to Cal Ranch and JoAnn's for the metal detail and snaps I was set. I measured Corbin and got everything sewn and cut out then my husband helped me with the metal accessories. 

 They turned out great! And they weren't really that hard to make. I'm thinking of making a few and trying to sell them on Etsy. What do you guys think are they cute?! I have a ton of ideas on some different designs and even adding some bandanna detail...

This is Corbin and I at the Parade. I added this picture so you guys can see how cute the horse is that he rode on! This is Mater my in-laws horse, isn't he beautiful? He just turned 2 this spring so he's still pretty small.
