Good industrial sewing machine takes the hardship out of sewing leather.
And making up the proper template, does the job. Plus the fact that leather seat covers are rip off prices:D:D:D

I see you have a Pfaff!

My mother swears by them.

She has had the same Consew machine since she repatriated it from Laura Ashley's workshop in the early 80s. She also has an industrial overlocker, though what brand it is escapes me.

Pfaff and consew two great machines.

But I think the laura ashley stuff is easier sewn than leather. LA is soft old girly stuff:D:D:D
