I'm kinda in the same boat as you are, with making stuff for larping. Although I'm still working up to making armour from scratch till I get my stitching right. If you've got the armour made already I'd have thought that putting a bit of something like linen on the edges should work alright, although I'm just speaking about what I think will work. Interested in swapping pics of projects and comparing? Have to be honest I'm only modifying instead of making completely.

Current working on my first project, a backpack.

Hello everybody, just started out with leather working and have a project lined up, a backpack for larping. I put up a post a few days ago about stitching, and I'm now wondering if braiding with a leather thong would do a better/equal job?

Thank you everyone, I'll try out my stitching skills tonight then and see how things go.

I'm pretty sure saddle stitch is the style I've seen online (where you use 2 needles) but that seems a little overkill to me. The leather I've got I think is only 2-4 ounce, whereas with the examples I've seen so far all are thicker leathers to what I have.

Hey everyone, I'm just starting out working with leather. I've got some low ounce leather to start working with, and a bucket of ideas for stuff I wanna do. But I don't know what what stitches I should be using or the best thread. Thank you for any advice you can impart to me. Lee
