Well, to tell you the truth, I am always experimenting with sewing techniques. Right now I had to switch from bag making to quilt/blanket making as the weather gets colder. My family always seem to need warm bedding. See my latest sketches below on a quilt in production right now. This is another bicycle themed quilt in my Bicycle Hobo series. I hope to complete this one by next week if I don't have any more interruptions. Don't worry, I will plan on resurrecting this thread again when I get a chance sewing up the leather scraps I have. I can tell you right now it's the needle used that's the critical part of sewing leather. The rest is pretty much the same as sewing fabric. Always practice on scraps left over from cutting out the bag when learning how to sew a new technique before sewing up the actual bag.
