Workshop Description: Julie Pierce, a two-time World Leather Debut blue ribbon winner, will lead a workshop on creating custom leather jackets. The session covers design consultation, pattern development, measurement (using her JJ Pierce Co. Worksheet), mock-up creation, sourcing materials, cutting, and construction. Tips on pricing and sewing machines are included. Attendees will practice taking measurements in pairs. A basic knowledge of sewing machines and garment construction is recommended, though all are welcome for this lecture.
Materials to bring: Note taking materials. Cameras are welcome.
Workshop Instructor: Julie Pierce has been sewing by hand for as long as she can remember and on a machine since a 1970 home economics class. In the years since, Julie has made everything from bridal gowns to rodeo royalty wear. Julie first began making leather clothing in 2009, when she completed a leather jacket to wear at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Currently, Julie operates JJ Pierce Co. in Lewiston, Idaho, making bespoke leather garments. Julie will present her workshop in English.
