wlg190861 Report post Posted October 8, 2015 I was just wondering if anyone has made a purse out of upholstery leather. I have a few patterns but don't want to cut the hide if this is to thin, 2/3 oz. Sounds like a stupid question but I don't know. What is the most common thickness of leather used in purse making ?

Thor Report post Posted October 9, 2015 Recommended leather thickness for purses is 1 to 3 oz. and 4 to 7 oz. Depending on style/size and use of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
