Today's prompt in is focus and priorities. My focus at the moment is to get better at social media, show up more and feel more confident in this space.
Continued learning is really important to me, be that learning how to run a business better, how to market my products better, or learning new sewing techniques...constant learning!
Comment below letting me know the new things you want to learn 👇

Through LaVern Leather, I want sewists to not fear jean sewing and to sew their label on as a badge of honour after a sewing up their jeans 🥇👖
Every time you reach for your me made jeans, let the label be a reminder of your sewing superpower 💪
I know it is for me, I love that feeling of reaching into the wardrobe and pulling out something I have sewn, flaws and mistakes are known to the maker but everyone else just sees the great achievement of making something for yourself, to your own liking and to fit YOU!

There are many tasks involved in running a small business and since there is only me here, they all fall on me...maker, bookkeeper, social media manager, photographer, running to Australia Post!
I obviously love the making aspect, that's why I'm here! Social media is the task that I find most difficult and I don't show up here as often as I should. Will endeavour to do better 🤓

🧵What's my design process like? Starting off with a digital design for the words I'm using, I try out different fonts, spacing, sizing, orientation to see what I like best.

🧵When I have selected the best options, I will then test burn these designs onto leather to see how the fonts work, is the design readable etc. and make my final selection.

🧵 What happens to the labels that don't make the cut? These are kept for when I need to practice a certain letter/design, or for simply checking the burn temperature before burning a design. When there are completely covered in marks, they then become the remnant pieces which I include with each label so you can practice sewing on leather with your machine before sewing on your beautiful label 😀 (see pic 3) Can you make out the original design on your remnant piece?

I'm always open to ideas, let me know in the comments if there is a design you would love to see!

Hi! I don't often show my face here but this is me - Lesa, the creator behind LaVern Leather. I love sewing but will do anything to avoid hand sewing, who’s with me?! 😅

I was so thrilled/excited/overjoyed when I sewed my first pair of jeans that I just wanted to attach a leather label to give them a professional, unique finish and as a reward for a job well done🧵. I couldn’t find said labels available for purchase so I went about figuring out how to make myself one and created LaVern Leather to give you the opportunity to add that ✨extra special touch✨ to your jeans too 👖 (swipe to see the first jeans I sewed)

When I’m not sewing, you can find me spending time with my husband, walking lots, exploring whatever place we are living in (currently Brisbane), painting (I’m no Van Gogh but I’m giving it a go), drawing or playing the piano.

I’m going to try to take part in although in past years I haven’t been very successful, I’m determined to do it this year! Join me as I try to give you a glimpse inside my business this month.

I’m curious, do we share any hobbies? Let me know in the comments!

Custom labels available. Let me know your ideas!

☔️ Our mini umbrellas have been annoying me in our entryway - they were all over the place so I decided to do something about it! Knocked up this easy fabric basket in an afternoon, added a custom label and order has been restored to the entryway 😅 This is a perfect project for using up some remnant pieces of fabric

Get in touch if you have an idea for a custom label 😃

HELLO! 👋 It's been a while! I had some lovely time away from social media visiting family and friends in NI and Spain and now I'm very slowly getting back into the swing of things. Hoping to reconnect with friends on instagram and be a little more active on here 😃
