Leather Needle Case



This is the leather needle case which is included in the Sewing Leather CD. You can print the pattern and instructions for the needle case from the new CD. It is a great little project to give leather a try. You will have the opportunity to try sewing with leather, insert a zipper, create a bound buttonhole (the easiest one you will ever make!) and cover a button. The needle case is perfect for carrying to class or stashing in your knitting bag. There is a zippered pocket, a pin cushion and a ribbon tie to hold your scissors. It was designed by Kathryn Brenne.
I am off to teach a leather jacket workshop this week in Vancouver. Next week I will have photos of the student's creations!

Where do you purchase your leather? I love the leather shown in the needle case and the green jacket in an earlier post.

I have included a list of suppliers on the Sewing Leather CD. Most of my leather is purchased at Moore Pearsall or Perfect Leather. Both are located in Toronto.
