It isn&#39;t the drama, sewing leather, that many people assume, but obtaining skins is a hassle. <br />Meanwhile, nice note about the daughter. My own left for freshman year in London on Monday.

Personally, I did not have problems with the leather shifting while sewing. It behaved nicely with a teflon foot and a regular foot. Honestly, silk is a bigger pain to sew.Lindsay Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16245730088359572839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-44713643173578159062011-09-20T13:13:19.574-04:002011-09-20T13:13:19.574-04:00That looks great! <br /><br />Do you have any tips for getting your leather to stay put while you are stitching it? I finally bought a teflon foot after I worked on my faux leather skirt, but what about when the leather is folded right sides together and it&#39;s sliding around?Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604732687253434380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-54328332233544249282011-09-20T12:31:06.854-04:002011-09-20T12:31:06.854-04:00That looks amazing!!

I haven&#39;t sewn leather in years, but ages ago I was on a kick and made a jacket and skirt plus some tops. The most fun is using a rubber mallet in place of an iron and gluing the hems, leather/suede actually sew up super fast as there is no need to finished any seams.Beth (SunnyGal Studio)http://www.blogger.com/profile/08891740887743925587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-48314707425686097652011-09-20T09:28:31.074-04:002011-09-20T09:28:31.074-04:00SO cool. You combined 3 different materials in this shirt, which kinda sounds like a crazy idea, but quite to the contrary, the result is amazingly chic. It looks great in the pictures, but I bet the textural element of the leather is even more evident in real-life. <br /><br />So imitation is the best form of flattery, right? Inspired by you and a blouse Nina Garcia wore on PR, I picked up a few fabrics in NYC Sat. to make similar tops. Thanks for the inspiration!A Sewn Wardrobehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07508268916666500418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-42030118931642058192011-09-20T09:10:39.045-04:002011-09-20T09:10:39.045-04:00Your neutral leather top IS chic. You&#39;ve done a great job picking the different materials on both tops. It&#39;s the sort of thing that looks fab when you get it right. I&#39;d like to try mixing fabrics/materials, but so far haven&#39;t found the right ingredients.Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-27342106743716939002011-09-20T08:33:35.115-04:002011-09-20T08:33:35.115-04:00Your version looks better than the one from jcrew!
