At the beginning of September, I had a few birthdays that I needed to make gifts for. I had been tossing around the idea of doing a project with leather for awhile now, and I decided it was time to experiment! I went to my favorite fabric store, The Pennsylvania Fabric Outlet, and got a large navy blue piece of leather, matching fabric and zippers to make some unique travel bags. And I have to say, working with leather really wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be! Here are the results:
I loved it so much, that I made one for myself!!
And I really love the mater I used for the inside. I’m definitely going to have to make a purse or something with it!
I had quite a bit of leftover leather, so I made my good friend Emily a little iPhone case (I wish I had one!)
I also just picked up a coffee table that I’m going to be refinishing – can’t wait to share!
