Trying New Things

Sometimes I get on a kick of trying new things and stretching myself with my sewing. I've been on one of those recently. The specific new thing I've been in to is leather sewing. What I've learned is that I still have plenty to learn about sewing leather. But it's been really fun learning it. I'm even thinking about branching out into selling things. We'll see if I decide that should come into fruition. But, for now, enjoy some pictures of my recent makes.

With this pair i learned that some leathers are just not good for making baby shoes

My first ever pair of baby shoes. These went to my new niece, who is freakishly adorable.
