Well done. <br /><br />I forgot to mention how the leather sewing experience was. I'll update the post but it was not too bad for me because the wrong side of this leather was backed with fabric making it easy for a regular sewing foot to glide over. When it was time to top stitch I used some strips of plastic or paper to sew the seams so that the foot will slide over the leather with ease as I did not have the appropriate foot. When the seam was done I just ripped away the strips. I used a number 14 needle of my singer machine and I used glazed thread which is thicker and stronger than regular thread. <br /><br />I hope this helps!AriBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648772202507953757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612474170565866027.post-32670282787279307062015-01-05T05:03:09.025-08:002015-01-05T05:03:09.025-08:00Thanks Danielle.

What kind of needle and thread you use to sew leather? Thanks in advance :)<br /><br />Happy New Year and wish you all the best in 2015.Hana https://www.blogger.com/profile/05665357105932371193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612474170565866027.post-60029507960404270962015-01-04T00:16:11.986-08:002015-01-04T00:16:11.986-08:00these 2 projects are amazing! i've been thinki...these 2 projects are amazing! i've been thinking about leather project but would not take the plunge! yours turned out beautifully!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
