<p>A sewing method for joining two sheets (11, 19) of leather or other sheet material together. The method comprises the steps of forming a fold (13) along an edge (12) of a first sheet (11) of said material positioning an edge of a second sheet (19) of material substantially parallel and substantially abutting said edge (12) of said first sheet of material (11), sewing a first seam (22) adjacent and substantially parallel to the two said edges to fix said second sheet (19) of material to said first sheet of material (11), separating said first and second sheets of material, so that the two sheets extend laterally to opposite sides of said first seam (22) and said fold stands proud of the laterally extending sheets, folding said fold about said first seam and substantially parallel to said edges of said first (11) and second sheets (19) of material over said first seam (22) such that said fold overlies said second sheet of material thereby enclosing the join abutting edges of said first and second sheets of material, and sewing a second seam (24) substantially parallel to said first seam (22) through said fold and said second sheet of material to hold said fold against said second sheet of material. There is also provided a sewing method for joining two sheets of animal skin together and for forming a garment using this method such that either the fur side or the polished leather side of the material can be worn outermost. The method provides a unique effect because a 'line of fur' is seen extending through the seams of the garment on the leather face at the point where pieces of material are sewn together.</p> |
