July Give Away Winner & More

Here is the July Spin to Win!

Congratulations! Let me know which show apron you want and please confirm your current mailing address. I will pop your apron into the mail for you on Monday or Tuesday.

Not only am I working on show aprons, (and teaching tiny tailors) but I am beefing up my stash of haversacks. Here are a few more that I've recently completed.

(Some of the photos are a bit skewed - my back was hurting and so I took the pics while sitting down. Not the best, but it is what it is.)

Southwest Sunset, small Classic size.

This one fits several Traditional foals, too.

Bay Horse & Saluki, Classic size.

Scale is such a tricky thing - many of Breyer's models vary in size within a scale.

When it comes to fitting a model to a haversack, the scale is a beginning point, but I always show my sewing mat grid so that customers can figure out the actual size of the haversack when determining if it will fit their model.

In 2023 I wrote a short series called "Scales within Scales" discussing this issue and the problems I run into when I sew and then classify pouches by scale.

Foals & Flowers, Classic size.

Again we have the "what fits" juggle - a Classic model,

a Traditional foal,

and a Traditional pony, all of whom will fit in this particular haversack!

Oh, before I forget - my extra Totilas/Surprise Horse has sold so it is no longer available. Thanks for the interest.

Looks like the rain has stopped for a bit, so I am off to the frisbee field with Pepper and Tammo. Wish us luck as we dodge the raindrops!
