I've skinned a couple of sofas too for the same reason. What are you using to stitch? I was planning to get a large needle and use netting twine

Made from sofa leather supplied by M@ of the S_E breckfast clubthey were made shinny side out stitch then turned inside out,the carved bone is a peace of lamb bone from the sunday roast.

I was using a wool needle and waxed linen thread as i found the needle had a large eye but was not stupidly fat, i have some leather needles now and they have a more triangle shape to them, would suggest punching holes first, i used a screw, saves your fingers.

real nice tony as all ways

I was going to use some of my granddads leather harness thread Beermaker or i was thinking of using some artificial sinew but dont no where to get it from.

very nice pouches Tony.

[MadZ]

Ebay wilf for the artificial sinew, occasionally you get the real deal on there as well never used it before though so cant tell you what its like, waxed thread made all the difference, seemed to pull through better and pull up tighter if that makes sense.

got your pm mate, i'll drop them over to you asap, they will be photos of what i have drawn up, feel free to use them as is or as a rough guide/ideas for your needs, be sure to pop some pics up of what you make though, all ways interesting to see.

cheers
