I purchased an industrial machine (the Juki DNU-1541S) and have had so much fun making things out of leather, denim, and canvas. It sews through them effortlessly and I am loving the broader range of materials I can sew now. I have had boxes of denim I have been saving for literally years — they’ve moved with us several times, and I can finally sew them into beautiful and durable quilts and bags. Some of the things I made are below, and several of them are for sale on my shop, so check that out!
