I happened to see a Tally Book project recently. As most of us do, I opened it and started studying it for future reference. I noticed that the maker had lined the inside with suede? It was a think piece and not heavy "looking." Now, I know that I have ready here that many makers line their projects with a small weight Veg-Tan leather.

I was just wondering if anyone uses suede as a lining and why? Also, what do you use to line your projects?

Thanks.

I have used pigskin suede on many projects. I also will use veg tan goat that I use backwards so the "sueded" side is showing.

I have used the lightweight pig skin in the past and really like it, however these days I am using a 2oz calf because it is so clean and I like to add finger carving to my interiors.

I've been using some lightweight cow suede to line my eyeglass cases. The eyeglass cases are from 3-4 oz and the sued is probably 2-3. Still a long way from heavy.
