I used this pattern to give me a base for a greaves project with a bit of a different design. It helped me a lot to get the basic shape and size right so I could add custom detail. So yes, the picture i uploaded is certainly not a 1:1 fantasy greaves version but I think you can still see a lot of similiarities. So even if you are not really into the the explicit design of the greaves there is still a lot of valueable information you can extract from the pattern which saved me quite some time and nerves. As a pattern newbie I still tried to create one from scratch at first and was close to quitting when I started to use this pattern for reference I finally started to see some progress. I created a paper mockup from this pattern and started drawing wild shapes onto it eventually resulting in the greaves on the picture.

My first build with your patterns. The video did great to lead me down a successful path for completion. The tooling was much easier than I thought it would be and really gives the piece a great look. Everyone that comes to my house notices the helmet and must try it on. I plan to build more of your patterns. Thanks!

Just the thing to get me a bit more focused and make my LARP character a worthy suit of armour! Due to in-character events the helmet is different and I went a little crazy with details and personal touches....I certainly stand out as having one of the best kits on field now!
I made my tassets in mahagony from weiver leather and water formed d the three I gold edged the tassets to match a fantasy cuirass
I used this pattern for my own fantasy armour design and it's by far my favourite part of the whole thing.
I love how it turned out, it's amazing!

I watched all the tutorials many times before diving into this. For a first timer in leathercrafting, I was really surprised by how easy it was to follow the video and making my armor. My boyfriend's loving it and he's already asking for more parts to go with it.
