Leather Applique Work

One of my favorite things to do is applique work and to be able to utilize the smallest bits of leather and create something beautiful is worth so much to me. Here is a picture of a zippered case I started this afternoon. First I secured the leather to the vinyl background and stitched around the petals with my commercial machine. The next step will be adding the flower center and securing it with a metal rivet. This will hide where the stitching joins together in the middle. More photos coming soon.
