Leather lining options.

[Michael Sheldon]

One option when using thin fabric for linings. PVA "white" glue re-activates with heat. You can apply a thin layer to your leather, let dry, then iron on the liner, preventing issues with the glue wicking through the fabric.

Thanks for the info & tip. I never thought about using a fabric as a liner. Plaid/flannel lining would be kind of neat. I may have to try this. 

Appreciate it.

Not sure how flannel would work. The "fuzzy" surface may not adhere tightly? I've only used smooth fabrics.

Pigskin is cheap as chips and can come in various thicknesses and colours.

@fredkFor some reason I'm wishing you could visit JT Batchelor in London Fred. Probably because I know you would love it. An old Victorian mews warehouse full of dusty aisles and boxes with cobwebs and still every kind of leather/tools/findings etc. The most friendly and helpful staff. Where else could you go with your clicker dies, buy a side of leather, hire their very large clicker press for threepence halfpenny and come away with your projects already cut out?

I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Haven't been for awhile. I'll be going soon.
