Leather Jack!

Well I've been rather absent in posting, but that's because I've been making stuff! I had a goal to complete 4 projects in February and I did. Several of those items are gifts and will make their debut once they've been delivered to their recipients!

At Halloween I posted the paper Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas that I'd made, and how I'd really wanted to make him out of leather to get the textures and depth. Well since I first had that idea over a year ago, I enlisted my Mum to keep her eye out for some white leather, which I wasn't having any luck with. Low and behold for Christmas there was a nice big piece in my stocking! So I dug out my pattern and got to it!


He looks much more like I had envisioned now. 

You can see the textures, and the depth of the layers coming out of the frame.  

The leather stitching also looks a lot better than the string had.
