    Aww to bad you didn't make a pattern of these. I would totally buy this pattern from you off of etsy or where ever.

      You're sooo right! I guess it's not too weird that there were similar styles used in both wars??? I'm no historian though lol

      If I remember right, the only difference was the little hooks changed a bit amf the ww2 ones were shorter or something

    what's the make and model of your sewing machine? it seems like it stitches as well as serges.
    nice job on the gaiters! very well done.

      It's a husqvarna epic! It's not serging but it does have some similar stitches. Look at my video on sewing knits without a serger. You might have some of these stitches on your machine too

    why not have used a hook and loop system? it's more easily adaptable to anyone and easy to put on. in addition it makes less eyelet posed =)

      This is how my friend wanted it made, and he had already bought everything for the project ahead of time 🙂

    Make then in leather dude!!!!!

    • @TheAwlNighter1
      @TheAwlNighter1  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, the process is pretty much the same. For leather, use a leather needle and a walking foot or teflon sewing foot. You don't need to finish the raw edges, but if you want you can use a special adhesive made for leather to hold down the seam allowance. I would also use a punch tool to make the holes for the grommets instead of an awl. Hope this helps!

    • @TheAwlNighter1
      @TheAwlNighter1  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Another commenter said m1917 leggings. I'm sure they resemble alot of different pieces throughout history, but I just named them based off what my friend's reference pic was called and what he was using them for. They're definitely not meant to be an exact replica by any means!
