Members Loft Leather Posted 4 hours ago Members Report Posted 4 hours ago I'm experimenting with different ways to stitch leather pieces together. Without the piping, you can see a little bit of the stitching when I turned the panel from the gusset. When I added the piping, the stitches disappeared entirely and the leather became much more cooperative with making the curve of this bag. I didn't skive the piping, panel, or gusset. I didn't add a wire/string in the piping. I just cut a narrow strip of leather from the gusset leather, applied glue, and forced it over with a bone folder, then punched the holes. I'm working with two $10 rolls of chrome tanned leather from a local hobby shop...low end stuff. I'm working on a tribute handbag of the highest end French maker. I didn't find any already produced patterns for this design, so I created the plan myself with help from chatgpt. AI is useful in the process, but I had to make adjustments for what seemed like faulty planning on its part. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted 4 hours ago CFM Report Posted 4 hours ago piping always. There is a reason you use it in light leather goods, actually more than one lol.
