amadeusfort Report post Posted April 25, 2010 hi there, i'm a novice bag maker, and recently i found about a dozen of lizard skins. they were all stuck in a box so i thought i would give it a whirl. the pieces are quite small so therefore need some patching together but now the problem is that the skins curve a little. and that would make it hard for me to try to bond it to another leather. any ideas. perhaps a possibility to stretch it? here's an attachment. thanks in advance. bryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted April 26, 2010 Looks like some nice skins, I only use this type of leather for inlays myself. Lizard looks really good in inlays for various things. I am not entirely sure how it would hold up being sewn to each other as the primary leather for a handbag. You will need the advice of the handbag experts.
