@georgiahigh7358 I have made others in the past, but this is definitely the only one I've posted. I should do another video, seeing as this one has blown up a bit lol! I could do a video on making fly bonnets
Couple of suggestions! If your fabric can be ironed, try a fusible stabilizer to hold the batting and fabric together, then they won't shift- also adds a little weight to the material so it won't pucker as much! Also for piping- if you get the kind with the lip, the lip can tuck under your binding as you sew and then it is attached without hand sewing!
I'll be keeping this comment in camera roll for future reference! I am however ashamed to admit that I did buy piping with a lip.... and cut it off before hand sewing. I was frankly afraid I'd be in a little over my head trying to do binding/ piping simultaneously. I might get braver next time around!
i just googled how to make a saddle pad after i saw the new stockholm collection come out because they are so expensive in SA and your awesome video is the first one to pop up. it is official, i am getting me a sowing machine to make some saddle pads, i only do light trail riding, but love pretty things ^^
I made one following your instructions: cotton cover and binding, two layers of wool wadding, polypropylene back then covered by mesh. I also added a spine and straps with Velcro. It looks like it will do the job well.
I can barely sew using a machine 🙈 My aunt can sew though. I might send her your video and some fabric 😂 It really is a lovely pad. You’re very talented. And fab to see you uploading again, as I really enjoy your content x
I would suggest using an industrial sewing machine for all heavy duty stitching, they are extremely reliable, although I don’t have one myself but I am planning on getting one myself for my bag making projects and now numnuhs (saddle pads)
I just used a normal presser foot! The fabric shifted a little, but I just ripped it out and started over a few times, lol! I'll look into a walking foot next time 😄
Yeah that was the tough part. The top strip "spine" just gets seamed and sewn. I got the first half of it on film. But the underside had to be hand sewn (in the hotel before my show lol) . Just make an identical spine strip, and sew it with a "ladder" hand stitch to the underside!
Well done! Four layers of batting is key, it looks like. Sewing satin is not for beginners, imo, and a different foot definitely might have helped. The amount of time this took you, makes me think....I just might buy, instead! Very patient, you are!
You're not wrong... and I just realized I didn't break down how much was spent on materials, either! (I would honestly have to agree with you that this was totally not worth it! Haha!) However it is fun being able to make it however I please!
I've been thinking of making a saddle pad for myself! How come you ended up hating it?! Do you hate it because of how it looks or something that went wrong when you were making it? Thanks!!
Funny story actually... I accidentally added a seam allowance and that added about an inch to every side. It just turned out too big for my saddle, so it's not as perfect as I'd like it to be! Just choose a pad shape you like, and cut it to exact size!
Hey! I used an old '99 singer machine. You can pick them up at garage sales frequently! It had a little trouble going through the binding and padding, but it's a solid machine

Poor equestrians rise up- These look stellar!
I suggest using spacer mesh for the bottom. Adds more padding and breathability.
What´s spacer mesh?
I’m blown away and so inspired/pumped to try this!!! Did you ever make any more?

I can so relate to the issues you had that made me laugh 😂

Omg no way! You'll have to update me on your sewing adventures!
I made one following your instructions: cotton cover and binding, two layers of wool wadding, polypropylene back then covered by mesh. I also added a spine and straps with Velcro. It looks like it will do the job well.
I’m actually really impressed! That looks so professional! I wish I could sew!
Thank you so much, it took forever to do! Sewing isn't super hard... as long as you have 3 machines and can swap them out when one (or two) breaks...

Great idea! The ol' reliable singer finally fritzed and I find I will probably be in the market for a new one if I plan on doing anymore saddle pads 😅
Cool idea! Did you use a walking foot? If not that would potentially help with the fabric shifting.

@@haleywinston3803 Hello Dear, did you purchase equestrian products ? I Am from India. If.you are interested to purchase from us so. Contact us .
Hmm…I’m making a saddle pad for my horse but how did you do that middle stitch? That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out- but your camera died 😭

What materials are those? Sorry I can't hear very well 😅
The colored material is satin, and the backing is like a poly mesh! The binding is just basic binding material from hobby lobby!
What sewing machine do you suggest for making saddle pads?

Sell them there sooo good 😎😎
I would, but I don't have etime for that! This one took soooo long 😬
what is the yardage?
I believe I started with 2 yards, and that was enough for 2 pads
