    Help on Snakeskins

    Hi,
    Just wondering, and would love to hear from those who have made their own, if there is any information or patterns for DIY snakeskins. I would like to make it my first project before tackling an UQ. Need some practice. What is the best material to craft them from? Thanks everone.

    One of my We Don't Sew vids has a demonstration of the snake skin. It is early on, maybe vid 2 or 3.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    I made a couple of sets. It wasn't too hard. I made the first set without the cable ties to hold open the wide ends. It was nearly impossible to use. So, don't make my mistake.

    I found a free pair of panty hose and cut off the ends... this has worked well enough until I get a chance to REALLY make a pair.
