Hi
I'm new to leather.
I'm trying to make a leather jacket with lamb skin.
I have few questions, if you can answer me i would be so happy.
1. When the leather hides are smaller than the patterns for the jacket, what should i do?
I've been looking for leather hides, but most of them are around 6 sq.ft.
It's smaller than what i need.
Is this normal? What should i do in this situation? Is there a method for this?
Or do i just have to find bigger enough for my project?
2. For leather goods like wallet and handbag.
Also, what i found are too thin for them i think. I'm looking for calfskin.
When it's thinner than i need, what should i do?
Is there a method for this?
Or do i just have to find thicker enough?
Thanks from france!
