Hola Teen,
Using that bridal stash is the third item on my list.
I actually got a heavy duty machine (White Rotary 77) and I'm learning to sew to use scavenged leather from couches in Chicago alleys.
I bought my first rock amp in decades and the amp cover was a cheezy, ill-fitting piece of vinyl. I thought I could do way better with the great upholstery leather.
Meanwhile, I have a lifetime of saved memorabilia fabric that I've always wanted to quilt. So this forum is my spirit guide.
See you around the threads.
Doug
