    Is there a curved type of needle that I can stitch these swell patches up with?
     

    I have place a piece of leather in underneath to patch the holes.
     

    I’ve tried to take off the swell, but the rigging is attached into the swell and I can’t get it undone to replace the entire swell cover.
     

    any ideas how to stitch the two bits together? I was thinking maybe a curved needle?.

    I’m not a saddle maker. I’ve been asked to see if I can patch these knee pads and the cantle of the saddle. 
    I was thinking of putting leather underneath and doing some type of hand stitch ? It’s just a work saddle and the saddler is no longer about. 
    any tips or ideas? 
    also does anyone know the stitch done on the knee pad?

    Sorry, I had spell check error.. I meant saddler not saddle. It's just a strip of blank leather that I bought from a saddlery leather shop and they said its a belt blank that I can tool but the water just sits on top and soaks in maybe after 10 mins but still isn't wet enough. Doesn't soak through ... And I tested a little antique finish on an end and it does the same and then leaves speckle marks
