The day we visited Tandy Leather as a class, I went in early and rented out their skiving machine to trim down the thickness on the edges of my applique pieces. This was actually a fun machine to work on and I’m glad I have some experience on it.
At first, when sewing the applique pieces on the jacket, I was folding as I sewed, but that was not working out very well. I then switched to using leather glue and gluing the edges down beforehand, which worked out very well and I will continue to do in the future.
Here’s the finished applique dogfaces on the fronts of the top.
Here is my finished ensemble. I’m very proud of this and that I got it done in such a short amount of time. This was my first time working with leather so please be kind.
