I made these Gaiters for my husband. The bottoms of jeans were always getting soaked from the snow and rain. I found the pattern online from a store in Corvalis, Oregon. They were easy to make, but it still took about two weeks....LOL But if I would have stayed on them it probably would have only taken a day or two to complete.
It is a waterproof shell with a canvas lining which I plan on spraying some waterproofing on them later today. front view [ATTACH=CONFIG]161403[/ATTACH] side view [ATTACH=CONFIG]161404[/ATTACH] side view [ATTACH=CONFIG]161405[/ATTACH] |
Nice work! Gators are a MUST in wet weather, and these look great. What company did you get the pattern from?
|
OMG! Those are awesome.

oooh thanks for posting this. I've been using my xcountry skiing gaitors, but they are way too short. I have some Cordura left over from a table cover I made, now I know what I'm going to do with it!
|
Those are awesome!! Great idea! And I chuckled at your heading lol :D
|
Cool. Your husband's stance looks like he might be a natural model.
|
He's a sportin that model look...he must really love them (and you) if he's not taking them off...
|
Great job! Useful and a fashion statement as well!
|
You did a great job on these. Not only will it keep is pantleg dry, it will also add extra warmth. Works like knee socks, only on the outside. :-)
|
Cool
|
Very nice!

Great Idea! You did a great job too!
|
Nice job! I could use a pair, takes me about 8 mins to get from my car to my office building, and with all the rain we've been having the puddles are horrendous. My pants are always wet.

Cool idea! I wear knee high rubber boots...my problem is more mud than snow. I like the way your DH is "posing"...too funny!

Chasing Hawk, you are just flat out amazing! Does your DH know how lucky he is?
|
What a great idea and yours came out fabulous, very professional.
|
I need to make my son a pair of those. He works for the water company and comes home soaked at times. The water co. doesn't care if the men are covered or not.
|
That ought to help keep the britches dry! Good job!!
|
Very nice and so useful.
|
That was a great idea, nice job
|
Those are so cool! They would be great here in Michigan right now!
|
These are great! You've done an excellent job!
|
Very cool!!!!!
