This leather and canvas wall hanging tutorial is so easy and cute for the holidays! It uses canvas and leather scraps and is really simple to make! I have two versions of this canvas and leather project, one for the holidays and one for any day. You can use the tiniest pieces of leather for the letters, so it's a great scrap buster.

I’d rather be sewing…. DIY leather banners with sewing sayings!
These leather + fringe banners are the perfect addition to your sewing space! These are super fast to make. I used the Cricut Maker to cut out the iron-on vinyl AND the leather pieces. It cut out the banner and the hanging holes at the top. I've used Cricut leather before when make this Kitty Purse, and these cut out just as simply. This is the Rose Gold color but I'm also itching to make one in a camel leather. If you don't have the Maker I included a PDF file so you can cut the leather by hand.

Pleather Penelope Peplum with a zipper!
Say that 5 times fast! Pleather Penelope Peplum! I made this top back in October, and have been meaning to get a tutorial up for you! This top is made with a pleather material (plastic leather). It's a synthetic fabric that feels sorta plasticy and has a little stretch, but not enough to work for most knit patterns. This one is an off white color with little stars punched out. The stretch is about 10%, but the Penelope Peplum requires 30% to be able to get it on. So the solution is a zipper in the back. It's easy to do, so I'll ...Continue Reading
