I love the way you put in the elastic....I do have some softer faux leather.....I may try it

[@SachisStudio]

softer faux leather is definitely the way to go! lol

[@lynetterene]

@SachisStudio Looking forward to trying the faux leather

I just found your video. Great job on the stiff fabric. The hat looks very nice on you!

Thanks so much for watching & commenting ❣️I always appreciate your feedback 😊

Nice job on the beret. When I work with real leather I use contact cement and a mallet to get the seams to lay flat. Makes it a lot easier to do the over stitching. Contact cement gives off a lot of fumes so another option is two sided seam tape. Love your Singer. Had one like it but I sold it and I’m sorry I did.

[@SachisStudio]

I don’t work with real leather but it sounds like something really interesting to explore! I did work with some contact cement when I worked in a theatre costume shop, and they made me buy this serious fume protector…maybe I should put that to work 😆

Man this thing looks professional it's uncanny. The tips in here are very useful for sewing with faux leather, I just figured it would be like any other fabric without thinking lol. The finished project in the end is close enough to the inspiration. Good work as always!

[@SachisStudio]

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement as always! ☺️ When I looked at other photos, I realized her hat was a bit different shape but it was after I already made the hat so I decided it was close enough lol

@@SachisStudio It stills shows some insights I hadn't thought of before, so all the same the video was excellent!

[@lynetterene]

Sachi!! I just found you tonight (12.16.24)...... I'm enjoying your channel.....thanks for sharing

[@SachisStudio]

So happy to be found by another lovely sewist❣️

[@lynetterene]

@SachisStudio awww!!!! Thank you

[@BelindaTOV]

It turned out great even being too stiff. I use beeswax or a bit of soap where im going to sew so it slides better.

[@SachisStudio]

I have to try that method! Thank you so much for your tip💕😊

[@BelindaTOV]

@@SachisStudio of course, i have made a recover for motorcycle seat and a garage stool. Learned a few things from that …fun…. Experience. Lol while youre sewing over the wax or soap, it gets on the needle too and can wash out.

[@SachisStudio]

sewing leather for motorcycle seat and a garage stool sounds so challenging yet very interesting! I never thought of using soap but it makes sense 😆

[@BelindaTOV]

@@SachisStudio it was definitely a challenge and im certain that my sewing machine hasnt been right ever since. I used leather from the back of an old couch i tossed out. Free! Hahaha
