I have never dared to sew leather - haven&#39;t quite got my courage up yet to try. I like that you did the back in a wool double knit. I think that would take care of a lot of the fitting issues (for me, anyways).Tia Diahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10622901192302670927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-8061665295804288172011-10-20T01:12:48.324-04:002011-10-20T01:12:48.324-04:00This is fantastic! I have been admiring the skins at Fabric Mart online, but wondered how to incorporate them into a garment. This is a great idea, and I agree that In-Style is a wonderful magazine for sewing inspiration and fashion. I get a lot of ideas from it.MushyWearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11298153126878457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-42012867202405490532011-10-19T20:22:53.275-04:002011-10-19T20:22:53.275-04:00Lovely! can you show or describe how you lined the top? it&#39;s so simple and so elegant!<br /><br />Rose in SVRosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05782386414185682598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-65445016913039000842011-10-19T10:38:10.966-04:002011-10-19T10:38:10.966-04:00Your top is terrific. <br /><br />I saw several similar tops while shopping last weekend.

There was so much to choose from I didn&#39;t know where to start. The sales people seemed nice enough, but I didn&#39;t want to waste their time if I chose not to buy. I ended up buying a six dollar piece of leather at mood in their remnant box. I hope to use it as accent on a purse or something. Thank you for sharing how much you spent on the leather there, I may go back with a little more confidence!Bonny Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00802767854526477177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541518822404853610.post-4001506524667849272011-10-16T14:15:20.390-04:002011-10-16T14:15:20.390-04:00Again, a great, a great top.
