  1. 3f. Rear Closure (Straps and Fasteners (aka bra hooks)

     

    In this section I'll be illustrating how to create the rear calf closure strap & hook assemblies instead of using the Anovos supplied velcro. Either one is excepted at all level of approval but the Straps and hooks are the most accurate.

     

    NOTE: As mentioned in a previous post, as for which sections go with what leg is up for debate. I suggest test fitting the shins and walk around. Once you're satisfied continue on. 

     

    Here's a reference picture

    I'll be using 3/4" white elastic and size 3 bra fasteners. You'll need a sewing machine and or needle and thread.

    For the adventurous I have a tutorial on how to make the hooks from scratch, though not considered entirely screen accurate. 

     

    Starting with the elastic cut six 4" sections.

    Fold one end over 1" and sew in place.

    Now hand sew in the fasteners to the folded side of the elastic.

    Ready to glue

    Hey! Loving this thread, first off. :)

     

    What does the inside look like in regards to the eyes? Did you just glue them in the appropriate place to meet the hooks according to your fit? Are they glued to another smaller piece of elastic? How do they come together? 

    Thanks!
