My new Bernette sewing machine says it can sew everything from light chiffon fabric to leather. I need a new belt bag/pouch and figure this is a good project to get my feet wet and lean how to sew leather.
Since everything worth doing is worth over doing (and I bought a cute machine embroidery file from Urban Threads) I am going to machine embroider the leather before I cut and sew it into a purse!
I admit, I had concerns about sewing and embroidering leather. If you sew a
mistake and remove the stitches the holes left behind in the leather hide will
not close like fabric will. But with practice, patience, and a few
sewing hacks, you can embroider leather and the results will look fabulous!
