Using a leather needle on a treadle sewing machine might work.

Never seen an apron like this. They make a leather needle which I have used before but right now I am missing a snap ring with different size needle pkgs, so I don't know where mine is. Maybe she can glue this on?? Just a thought, but you are right....some people think we can do anything. I'm handy but not with everything. Great job anyways.

Good for you Toogie. I'm like Sewmadau, I don't sew for money. However, my kids think I can do anything (sewing related) and I usually give in to them. My son's latest project involved multi-layers of heavy material and I tried hand walking my machine through it, but it was a no go. He now gets to hand sew it.

This reminded me of my very first embroidery machine, I had only used it a couple of times and was still in ore of such a clever machine, anyway I was asked to embroidery a name on a little ones T shirt. It turned out really good for a first time. They came to pick it up , when they saw it they said you have spelt the name wrong and got really angry. Thankfully I had kept the paper the lady gave me with the spelling on it, I showed it to her and she just snatched it out of my hand and left. Yes she had spelt the name wrong. That was the first and only time I ever embroidered for money. Never again.

Lovely work, perhaps the lady could glue it on as toogie suggested.

She needs a commercial machine, so I'm glad you didn't try to tackle this. I know you hate turning someone down, but it's not worth damaging your machine.
If you could satin stitch the outer edges straight, which might be hard now since you already cut them, she may could glue them on. I know she won't be washing the leather, so if she can glue it that's my best advice.

I told her that also thanks toogie:):)

Great minds think alike :)
I also thought, if satin stitching the edges after marking evenly wouldn't be possible, maybe just cut along the marking with pinking shears or a wavy rotary blade to keep the fabric from fraying, then she could glue it on.

Good for you Carolyn, some people are incredibly naive when it comes to sewing! Love Chris

P.S. You did a great job by the way.
