Hand Sewn Leather
July 19th, 2009
What materials are used for hand sewing leather?
I've got the leather. Check. What I need to do is sew two different pieces together at a 90 degree angle to eventually create a little leather pouch. I've got the pieces cut out and lined up already, all I need to know is what to sew it with.
Do I use just plain thread and needle? Because I feel like the thread would snap and the needle break when I try to put it through the leather. I was thinking maybe I could use little thin strips of leather instead of thread, but then I'd need a needle, too. Well, of course I'd need a needle, but one big enough to sew leather to leather with leather. Wow.
Anyway, should I stick to yarn since it's stronger? Or maybe even twine? And is a normal cloth sewing needle strong enough to work with leather? If not, what kind of needle is?
So: what kind of thread, what kind of needle? And where to get it if you please. If it's sold at Michael's, I'd be so happy.
just use good thread and a sharp needle
I've sewn leather by hand and by machine and never had a problem
