I agree, she is an idiot for not liking it.

I guess this is the most appropriate place on the whole of MX to ask, how hard would it be to make leather(ette) jeans? Could I sew leatherette with a sewing machine?

Sewing leather on a sewing machine might break your needle. Make sure you have a tough enough needle to use. My mom's friend got drunk and used her sewing machine for leather, and ended up breaking a bunch of needles.

And if you're going to sew leather, dental floss is recomended. It's very strong.

Dental floss in the machine or by hand?

[QUOTE=Jon]Dental floss in the machine or by hand?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I was just thinking that maybe dental floss can't really go through the machine. You'd have to have a lot of it, and I don't know where you get such a thing. But it does work well by hand.

Listen honey, I can't even sew on a patch by hand (I can but it take me hours).

Dental floss sometimes splits and frays and crap like that. Just double up your thread when you sew ands it works WAY better.

depends on what kind of floss you use, also.

Yeah it seems like floss isn't as good as I thought it would be.

Fishing line.

And if you can't even sew on a patch, you might want to think twice about making your own pants.

He tells the truth. Hand sewing is essential to learn, even if you regularly use a machine.

But it took hours :(

X-acto is a DIY's best friend. I love them.

Yeah, I never had one before though, so I was never big on making stencils, because I was always tryin' to use scisors and chit.

I always had one, since my dad used to do models heavily. Really useful even for non DIY things.

i've asked this before, but how do i make a beret

Are there any other decent DIY links that I'm not searching 2600 posts for?
