Tutorial on barrel-shaped leather goods and double-layer seaming

Author: Reachcn Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/5527896876For Leather goods Many people think that seaming is the most difficult point in leather craftsmanship. I have made some quilted objects and have accumulated some personal experiences that I hope to share with you here.

The following tutorial was taken with my mobile phone when I was making samples. The above The photos are a representation of the finished product. I am a patient with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I cannot accept the phenomenon of stealing stitches and skipping stitches, so maybe my tutorial will be more troublesome! The first step is to draw a drawing. The drawings are adjusted in size according to different needs and material limitations. In addition, three elements need to be determined on the drawing: the overall dimensions, radius, diameter, circumference, etc. The next step is to determine The thickness of the leather used (the thickness of the leather will affect the base radius), how many holes are required to complete the stitching.

After drawing the drawing You can cut the materials according to the drawings.

Rounded edges I personally punch holes one by one with one tooth and press them by hand. The circle of lines inside the circle exists for reinforcement after the double layers are bonded. One thing to mention here, if there is no reinforcement line inside, wouldn't the traditional method of only relying on glue to bond it be afraid of opening?

Hole stickers Together, in order to align the cut holes with the cut holes, I used 4 needles for positioning! Because the drawings are used to calculate the cut holes, there will be no more or less holes; during the sewing process, since it is cut on both sides, there will be no skipped stitches!

Bottom fit Then sew the inner circle of reinforcement lines. At the same time, the straight line length of the side circumference and the number of cut holes are corresponding to the bottom circumference!

Sew the bottom and sides good! Many people find this step difficult, but according to my method, if the holes have been drilled in the previous steps, there is no need for an awl or other objects to pass the holes. You can sew directly after picking them up, and the hole traces are extremely beautiful, and more No need to steal needles or anything.

Measure the internal depth of the box and make Lined and must meet the requirements to fit the lid!

Finally completed wire box sample.
