This is the reason for the trip to Toronto–my new walking foot machine. And it can walk through many many layers of leather. I’m just learning about all the adjustments, so taking it slowly. Below is my first project with my new machine.
I got this great remnant in Ottawa. I lined it with black leather from a pair of pants; the strap is made from another pair. Who would wear red leather pants??
And here is a new piece of Jenny Clark’s ceramics, also from the Toronto trip. I love her work. I first met her at the One of a Kind show several years ago, and have been collecting pieces ever since. They are so whimsical. I am using this for a spoon rest on the stove so I can look at it every day.
