SUNDAY FUNDAY






so after my cup of coffee this morning i found a bag of scrap leather and some sinew.  i decided i wanted to craft a free-form leather tank top. about 1/4 of the way into it i ran out of leather.  after checking the local hobby store and finding out there was no scrap leather to be found...anywhere, i headed to the thrift shops. luckily, i stumbled upon a black suede skirt.  this is what stage it's at so far.  i am trying to figure out how to achieve closure on both sides while still being able to put it on.  i'm stoked that the 2nd leather pieces turned out to be the deepest shade of purple! 

ps.  sorry about the mess in the background.  its my "do the dang thing yourself corner"

  2. thats a good idea but neither side is really straight. maybe i could sew some extra leather on one side to make it work.

  3. that's awesome! if you aren't too worried about gapping/coverage maybe you could rig up a hook and eye closure

  6. Yeah, leather lacing up the sides would work well. You could shimmy into it and then tighten the sides after you're in it. It's awesome! :)
