Hi, have a question. I have a customer that wants a crossbody bag out of a particular piece of leather. The problem is I don’t have enough to make the long cross body strap in one piece. Im looking for suggestions on how to splice the leather together to make it strong enough to hold a lot of stuff? I plan to use two pieces of leather glued together and stitched on the edges. But what would be the way to approach the spliced area? Thanks for any help in advance!
