the other day i found this leather jacket at a flea market for $2!! the leather is so buttery soft - it's one of those things that i want to just keep touching. haha well, i thought it would be a good chance for me to experiment making something with leather for only $2 - and if i messed up, it wouldn't be a big deal. so i found some clutches online that i liked and set out to try to make one myself. i totally took apart the entire jacket (looks like a bear attacked it) and ended up with quite a bit of usable leather. i wasn't even sure if my sewing machine could handle leather, but i bought some special needles, upholstery thread and a $1 zipper - and it all worked out pretty well! i even have enough material to make a couple more little things. =)
