Another leather project

With another piece of leather I made a sleeve for the papers that I have to carry when driving my car. Again it's from an upholstery sample - this time with different stitchings as a showpiece.

At JLLeatherSupplies on Etsy I found a strap of leather in the color of one of the yarns to tie around and close the sleeve.

With what was left of the strap I had enough to make a double leather bracelet for myself.

Quite nice. If I may say so :)

Sewing with leather

Ever since I have my sewing machine I've been wanting to try to sew with leather. When I got hold of a leather sample for furniture upholstery, I finally did. After 31 years :)

It was a little piece just enough for this pencil pouch. In stead of using pins I glued, let it dry and then sewed it together. It worked out well and I'm really proud and fond of it.

With the remains I cut and glued a little bracelet with a popper button. Too small for me unfortunately - I love the color.

My daughter loves it. It's sturdy and soft at the same time and looking good.
