I want to make a purse, and I want to use some of the second hand leather I've accumulated, mostly as gifts (thanks, All!)
And some of the leathers are in colors I do like, but I have hesitations about using--the leather needle I have isn't meant for heavier hides; if I quilt the suede will it just look like a bad Chanel knock off, which would send all sorts of incorrect messages about the kind of person I am; do I really want to use up the fantastic stuff when I know my skill in this area isn't great...stuff like that.
I decided maybe I'd use the pale gray-blue and sepia mock reptile finish leather someone gave me about 20 years ago
It's really soft, but I know I could interface it
but of course that wasn't the biggest issue
