Treadling Leather

In the evenings I've been addicted to my old treadle sewing machine, as I bought some leather needles, that work!! I was given some lovely leather from a couple of amazing leather women (not literally) and thought I'd get creative with it. Not being a confident stitcher, I went for an easy option of money belts- good at festivals, parties, anywhere where you want to have hands free, dance, and still have your

valuables safe! I enjoyed making and creating every one differently, an oak leaf theme seem to creep in and run through them all, making hawthorn wooden buttons and different fastenings.
