And The Winner Is!

The last time I won something?  Well I can't remember, that is until today when I opened my Hot Patterns e mail.  It is their 6th anniversary and if you buy a pattern during the month of September you  will be entered  in the  weekly drawing running during the month of September  to get that pattern free.  Unless there's another Nancy K from New York, I won the first drawing!  I bought the motorcycle jacket pattern to use with my leather from Fabric Marts half price sale.  


 I was going to use a Burda pattern with an off set zipper and collar, but I think that  this will be an easier wear and easier to sew.  There is also a Mannequim jacket that looks like a Rick Owens knockoff but talk about difficult, just finding it on the pattern map was a challenge. There are a lot of pattern pieces and I don't have that much experience sewing leather.  I want to get this done to wear this fall, not next spring!  This has good lines for me, semi fitted, but not too tight and the length is good for wearing over other pieces.
Thank you Hot Patterns, it was a nice start to my day.

    This is great news Nancy! I hope you will share your experiences with sewing leather. It's something I fancy attempting too.

    Congratulations! I thought that must be you when I saw the email this morning. I just ordered the Cote d Azure dress after seeing the top you made. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Nice work!! I've still got my Burda leather jacket in the back of my mind, but I'm tempted by that same Manequim one, too. But I totally hear you on the Manequim pattern sheets - they're by far the densest I've ever seen!
