Inspiration...Leather Jacket

I really like leather jackets and I have found a beautiful one today.  Check it out:

What's not to love?  The color is fantastic and it's asymmetric.  This is the Lafayette 148 New York Mary-Kate Weightless Glazed Lambskin Leather Jacket.  Price tag: $1198.00.  If you want a closer look, check it out at Neiman Marcus.

Here's a similar pattern:

This is Silhouette Patterns #914.  The details are very close on this one.

So how do you feel about sewing your own leather jacket?  Have you already gone down this path?  I'm a little nervous about sewing leather but I really should get over it.   With this type of sewing you really can save money.

Hope your inspired to sew something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
