Getting creative

I am absolutely NOT handy but despite that, I'm going to start making some stuff. And that stuff is going to be saddlecloth /pad (whatever it's called). I really love fancy pads for underneath the saddle but they are so damn expensive. 

I love this one so much. The colors are so pretty! But it costs 85 euro's... and that just to protect your saddle from sweat.

Another one I like, 75 euro.

So because I can't afford, and don't want to spend so much money on it, I will try and make them myself. I will start with something very simple. A plain one, but if I get better, I could start making more complicated once and perhaps even earn a little bit of money with it if they look good enough. If the weather isn't too bad, I'm going to the market tomorrow to look for some cheap fabric to try and make my first one. I'd love to make one with animals prints, but I think that leopard prints is going to look dull on Amber because she is's brownish. 

Maybe I should go for zebra or something... I'd love to have minty green or lavender/purple as well... 

Wish me luck!
