Well it seems leather and lace are the new kids on the block! I'm loving working with the guipure lace and there are some gorgeous laces out there. Leather however is testing my thinking in millinery as stitching isn't proving to work! Yes! Glue it is. As one of my friends pointed out recently, "But that's against your religion!?" I tested the theory and it seems it is correct. The stitches just don't want to hold through the leather. Still anywhere possible, my hats and headpieces will still be hand stitched, including any trims on my leather pieces.
Something I am having fun with is hand making leather flowers! Check these out!
I now have two gorgeous custom pieces available for sale. Although I don't currently have a lot of space to make and store, I will occasionally have one or two ready to go at a time and still take custom orders. See my For Sale page for details of new pieces looking for homes
