Reupholstering a Baseball (how do I do that!)

Recommended Posts

Hello All - I am trying to re-cover a baseball and was hoping to get a few pointers:

Can I use the existing skin as a direct template (or maybe make it a little smaller to account for the stretch when wet)?

How do I end the baseball stitch so that it’s hidden?

Should I glue the leather down before stitching it up? 

There are a few “tutorials” online but too vague to follow. 

Any tips or tricks on doing this is appreciated! - Thanks

I posted a template here somewhere that should work, just have to size it for the size of the ball
