Can a Kenmore 158.13360 sew leather?

Yes, if the leather is thin enough, your needle sharp enough, and thread strong enough. Look for a thin, soft leather such as kid. It will help to change out your needle to a much sharper "leather" needle, which also has more metal between the tip and the eye, to punch through the heavy material better before pulling thread through it. You may want to use nylon filament as replacement for normal thread. You won't hurt any part of the machine proper, but be careful you don't push the motor too hard; you don't want to burn it out or break the belt.

You may have to adjust the thread tensions, since the top thread will be pulling through thick material. Don't expect to sew quickly. Although your machine (a model 33) is a workhorse, leather is usually sewn on specialized machines, and you are asking it to do something a bit out of its league.

What is proportion in dressmaking?

The term "Proportion" might be to describe the change in size of a pattern, or say a dress, to make it fit a larger or smaller person. As the size of the waist increases, most other measurements of the pattern would also have to increase in proportion. If you just increased the waist, other parts wouldn't fit together. But you wouldn't necessarily add an inch to the hips if you added an inch to the waist. Another example also might be the need to possibly lengthen a skirt length as the size increases or shorten it if the size decreases. Proportions vary with styles and change with the fads. Another use of "Proportion" could be "In the eye of the designer." Say you had a large ruffle around a neckline. It might look out of proportion if it were too large or wasn't "balanced" by another element of the design.

Disadvantages of synthetic fabrics?

The greatest disadvantage of synthetic fabrics is their exceptionally long term stability. (This can of course be utilized where it is needed).

The problem is that we use synthetic materials all around us. This fills our planet with waste material that takes the nature hundreds of years to decompose.

The greatest disadvantage could be that it is so cheap to produce. This makes it a perfect economic choice for most all uses. Combination of cheap and long term stability makes the planet 'drown' in waste.

Recycling is most often possible but the cost of producing new is often less than cost involved in recycling.
