garment patterns and clothes making

Recommended Posts

I really enjoyed reading the latest topics about garment patterns and clothes making. It jogged my memory about a period when i tried my hand at leather garments. I must be getting old because i had totally forgotten about these projects. I have found some old photos that i have scanned so the quality is not so good. Of course going through old photos side tracked me for a while. Going down memory lane is quite distracting. The clothes were made from soft suedes etc, using both sides to get slight color variations. They were sewn on a normal sewing machine using "leather needles". I found any normal sewing pattern could be used for leather as long as the leather is not too thick, so soft suedes are great. These photos are from the mid 80's i think. The leather bikini was quite a hit, i don't know what happened to the top in the photo. I loved the pale pink outfit, it was a top and shorts set. The high waisted skirts and shorts are so 80's!!

Happy New Year to everyone

Nice post and nice work! I dig chicks in leather.I think the bikini shot would look great with a .45 Colt revolver hanging on the hip in a heavily tooled holster,imho. Were you the model?

Oh come on Caroline, you should have let them think it was you! You might have had to put a towel over your keyboard to catch all the drool though ;)

Really nice work you did there.

Nice work tho...you should do some more garments...seems like it would be a natural extension of your wonderful masks. I love to see the different things people are doing on this board.
