AWORKOFMARC Report post Posted January 6 (edited) So I modified a wallet pattern and while I love the look on the outside --the 4 rows of vertical stitching on the inside bill fold section is a bit much. I want to line it with something and I have zero experience lining anything. I got some "salpa" which, in my experimenting, took the dye well --but I'm not sure I should use that as a liner or would I be better off going with something like card stock paper thin goat skin? The vertical rows are what's going to be covered and the horiz. dots are where my liner stitch will go. Edited January 6 by AWORKOFMARC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieselTech Report post Posted January 6 Goat skin should be ok I would think. There is also kangaroo if you want something a bit more fancy/priced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted January 6 Kangaroo has the advantage that it is naturally very thin compared to most other widely used leathers and is very strong for its weight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frodo Report post Posted January 6 I use a very thing silky smooth black fabric I buy at the big orange store. Very inexpensive for a liner material it does require a learning curve to deal with. It is so thin cutting it is a pita so, I use 1” wide yellow paper packing tape , I put the tape on the lines where I am going to cut then over cut by 1/2”. Fold the material to hide the edge. And sew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
