Repair leather jacket and 'fashion' question.?
Has anyone got any idea how I could repair the buttons on a leather jacket? As in they're hanging off quite a bit and the leather is so thick that it bends them before letting a needle go through.
That said, does it look too bad if someone of an average height, but quite thin wears a large size leather jacket?

You can take them to a tailor, usually they can repair leather and have the proper needles for it. You can also buy needles that are heavy enough to go through leather but it's really difficult to do yourself. If the jacket looks like your "swimming" in it, it's not a good look. If the sleeve length goes past your hands and the shoulders hang off of yours it will just look like you're wearing your big brothers jacket. Leather jackets should fit. Again, a tailor can modify it so that it will fit properly. ...(Answered by funkydesign03) |

Nacre? Where can I get some nacre, for 'painting' and repairing 'pearls' on costume jewelry?
I have several pieces of costume jewelry that have little pearls on them. One in particular, a marvelous old pin, would look perfect if only the surface of all of the 'pearls' were complete.
I know that it used to be possible to buy nacre. I think this was crushed mother-of-pearl or even crushed pearls, in solution of some kind. The nacre would be painted over the surface of the 'pearls' to give them an authentic appearance.
Where can this be bought, today?
