You are right, the people who might not like it aren't people you want to impress anyway.<br /><br />Love watching the process! <br />One comment from someone who has been wearing a home-sewn leather jacket for a few years, if I may... Be careful of the texture and strength of the skin. I found as you get close to the edge it gets kind of stretchy and weaker. For my first jacket I squeezed both upper sleeves out of one skin, but on later ones I got an extra piece so that I could cut them each from the strongest part.<br /><br />I have a leather jacket that is bright aqua and I get the most compliments.becki-chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469536334449247839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-65345738547089336092012-05-18T06:11:15.225-04:002012-05-18T06:11:15.225-04:00Save those scraps too, they can be used to cover b...Save those scraps too, they can be used to cover buttons, for trim or details like pocket flaps or to make small bags.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132533809320962451.post-30115155042131100012012-05-17T16:08:45.650-04:002012-05-17T16:08:45.650-04:00While reading your post, I realized I was holding ...While reading your post, I realized I was holding my breath! The thought of cutting the leather scares the crap out of me. I would definitely need some pharmaceutical assistance to make the first cut.

I can't wait to see your progress on the jacket - it is going to be amazing for sure.<br /><br />And as for the hair - its true, you wouldn't want to rob someone of the NY experience. I know when my mom's friend came out to visit from Kentucky she really wanted to see someone with green hair and someone with a mohawk. Well, wouldn't you know we went to Disneyland and saw these two teenage boys - one had neon green hair and the other had a giant blue mohawk! She was really excited, probably the highlight of the trip for her. So, anyway, yeah, purple hair for the win!T.
