LEATHER SEWING BY MACHINE
Discover, in the guide below, the essential points to know before embarking on the machine sewing of leather (with a family sewing machine).
CHOICE OF LEATHER
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Piece of Satinlys leather - 0.8 mm thick |
Metallic lambskin - 1 mm thick |
Piece of calf leather - 0.8 mm thick |
Lamb nappa leather - 0.7 mm thick |
1. CUT THE PATTERN
Download the pattern and print it in real size. Cut out the paper pattern and transfer it to the leather with a silver pencil.
Cut out the leather pieces with a cutter or a pair of scissors.
2. ASSEMBLE P2 PARTS AND ZIPPERS
Put double-sided on the 4 pieces P2, on the straight line.
Glue the P2 pieces 1 cm from the end (at the level of the slider) on each side of the 2 zippers. Attention, all the pieces must be glued at similar distances between the mesh and the leather (the distance between the 2 P2 pieces is about 0.7 mm).
Sew the 4 pieces P2 using the zipper foot.
3. ASSEMBLE THE WALLET
Take piece P1 and superimpose it (place it underneath), right sides together, with one of the "P2 + closure" pieces.
Then, take a P3 part and position it, right sides together, on the “P2 + closure” part. Maintain the 3 layers with sewing clips.
Then, sew 5 mm from the edge.
Take the second piece P3 and sew it in the same way on the other side.
4. INSERT THE FRENCH FLAG
Cut 4 cm of tricolor ribbon and fold it in half. Glue the tricolor ribbon on the zipper stitches at the stop.
Stitch the flag on the closure.
5. SEW THE CAFÉ GRAIN COIN PURSE
Take the second piece "P2 + closure" and position it on the already sewn pieces (right side against place - zipper against zipper).
Be careful to open the zipper before sewing so that you can return the purse at the end (that of the second piece "P2 + zipper") . Do not open it completely because the closure will be cut in the next step.
Then, sew the two remaining sides 5 mm from the edge.
6. CUT THREADS AND CLOSURES
Cut the sewing threads as well as the ends of the zippers then burn.
7. FINISH THE WALLET ASSEMBLY
Still with the zipper open, sew the two ends of the purse 5 mm from the edge.
8. RETURN THE WALLET
Finally, turn the coffee bean purse over and shape the angles.
YOU HAVE FINISHED !
