Hallie Jacket for sale on etsy

Being so surprised at how well this jacket turned out (especially for being the first leather garment I've ever made), I decided to share the joy that I have while wearing it! The hallie jacket is available at my etsy site for custom orders. Supply me with some body measurements and I'll supply you a perfectly fitting jacket. And let me tell you, I love wearing mine. It fits like a dream and is surprisingly super comfy.


Still brainstorming on what to make for February. Maybe some valentines day lingerie. Meh, who am I kidding, I don't need that. Perhaps a fun dress. We will all just have to wait and see!

January happenings-Leather jacket!

What happens when I get my hands on a cow hide, some snaps and zippers? This sweet leather jacket! After I finished it, I hung it on my coat rack. I didn't think I was cool enough, or something. Yesterday, I realized, I made this fucking jacket, so I'm gonna wear it! And I did and it felt awesome!

I learned a very important lesson: always check to see if the shaft of your snap is going to be longer than the thickness of your seem. Fun times. The epaulets are just sew down. Snap failure.


Here's another more picture from my fun self timer photoshoot! Jacket worn with the Kelly dress. Top photo worn with the Alice dress, and middle photo with a Forever 21 dress.

What I'm working on

The New Year brings new ideas, and what a better idea than actually writing on this blog! And what will I be writing about, you wonder? Here is a hint:

I will be making a new item, outside of my self-labeled collection, each month. January: cropped motor cycle jacket for myself.

I’m still working on it, but I keep running out of thread. This heavy duty top stitching thread I’ve been using to sew it is really screwing with my head. I am not used to these tiny spools. I seriously used an entire spool on the sleeves. When I continue, I’ll be on spool four. I must make it to fabric depot this weekend.

I can’t wait to have this jacket finished. I had been wanting a black leather jacket for months but didn’t have an extra $500 in my pocket. Then I had the crazy idea: why don’t I just make one. It has been an interesting experience since I’ve never made a garment out of leather before. But, I’m slowly learning. And I think it is turning into a jacket!
