Thank you so much for the advice. There is no need to fold the edges over as they will end up being the seam allowances. The bulkiness is not going to matter as that will not be showing on the outside and might be better as far as bone casing and comfort are concerned.

Hi, I am new to leathercraft and I was wondering at what point leather needs to be skived. I am making a corset as part of my Halloween costume. I am using lambskin and some other leather which is about 1-1.5mm thick and I was wondering if either of the leathers needed to be skived or if they are thin enough that they can just be joined together. Any advice would be most appreciated.
