Summary of Sewing With Leather and Suede: A Home Sewer's Guide (Home Sewers Guide)

Dozens of color photos, detailed illustrations, patterns, and step-by-step instructions guide readers through each project. Easily-sewn projects like belts, ties, vests, purses, and caps are presented first, then readers can try their hand at fancier skirts, tunic vests, pants and jackets. Gorgeous color photos of over 30 of the author's own garments inspire creativity and build confidence.

Starting with a thorough description of special tools and notions that work best for leather, Scrivano masterfully explains the differences between fabric- and leather-sewing techniques. The book then provides readers with a solid grounding in sewing techniques and stitches. Subsequent chapters detail how to plan a leather garment, beginning with design and pattern adjustment and continuing to cutting, sewing, and lining.

A special chapter on embellishment shows readers how to customize garments with finishing touches. Some techniques included are appliqu, unique pocket designs, stenciling, cording and binding, and handmade buttons.
