In Teen’s post #613, she mentioned the travel exemption. Well I had forgotten about that, so I claim it for those leather pants! We were about 250 miles from my home so it qualifies. The leather in those pants feels wonderful. It’s soft & easy to cut. I have the purse piece cut out but I’ve been using my 1949 15-30 to piece 2 quilt tops & it’s the one I use to sew leather. The old girl chugs right through the stuff, which my newer machine can’t do. I’ll wait until I’m through with my quilt tops before I switch the needle & my mental set to sew the purse. I don’t plan to keep the leather in my stash, either. I’ll make things from it until I use it all. I’m interested to see what I can make from the former pants.
