This Lunch break project was inspired by the resent purchase and design of my Nephews birthday present a skateboard…I thought elbow protectors would be very useful.

I made the elbow pads out of my old merino wool socks, and hemp fiber.

The materials chosen for their durability (Levi jeans were originally made from hemp fibre, later replaced with cotton as the jeans were lasting too long), breathability and fit.

The images below show the making process.
