Leather stitching Day
Here are a few samples of my playing with leather and other textures. It was so nice to use the sewing machine for something other than creating for my Diploma......roll on June 2015 when hopefully I will be finished.
For this piece I used leather, card, decorated paper, silk, brocade and lace material and held together with simple stitching.
