Clean, Restore, Upcycle Leather

When unable I always Amazon it. Sometimes it's also better than driving all over the place. I just toss it on the list for my next order.

We've only messed around with leathercraft for knife sheaths and belts. Sometimes I'd use 3-4 oz for certain things when making costumes for cosplay. I had a decent sewing machine and with leather needles it just powered on. Gave it to Mom for quilting because it would sew through 6 layers of denim without issue. All the ladies at the quiting group were jealous. It was just a mid level Brother from the early 2000s.

we have a pretty heavy duty simple Brother machine that can likely do leather work too so i may eventually use it for that sometime. i need to fix a belt and was wondering if i could put dental floss in the machine if it would work or not but i don't think the bobbins are set up for that... need to get some thicker thread for sure instead. no rush.

When I was a lot younger I did a fair amount of touchup and repair, both wood and leather. Used and new cars where the best opportunities for leather touchup & repair but I also a had a number of furniture stores. Eventhough at one time I was certified in both leather and wood touchup and repair. I highly doubt I could do much anymore without practice first. Probably wouldn't take long to come back. Mohawk had the best professional products at the time. Probably still the best, because they are still in business.

Here's a link to their leather touchup and repair products.
