I looked and some a scrumptious!!! Does anyone know when they have their sale on leather skins? I remember one time last year they marked them way down.

It was as soft as lambskin; very smooth on one side and unfinished on the other. Then I bought some of their pigskin suede leather to make a backpack type handbag.

Actually, I just started to look into how to finish leather edges, and it seems like such a PITA it's put a damper on my aspirations. ------ Twitter: @SewKnitStash

I was planning to make a leather jacket but thought I'd better start slow and just make a skirt. I'm excited to see the hides! ------ I'm finally a blogger! sewming.blogspot.com
blessedtosew Intermediate AL USA Member since 4/16/08 Posts: 860	Login to reply to this post In reply to minggiddylooloo << Like this post Date: 7/19/12 12:29 PM I ordered some too. I made a couple of leather skirts last year. I am going to try a simple jacket. I am worried about setting in the sleeves. I will definitely be muslining it before hand. What color(s) did you order? -- Edited on 7/19/12 12:29 PM --
