Projects for Iron Bark Leather
Plan a tote, handbag or everyday carry project around your pattern and the dimensions of the available piece. For smaller accessories, position wallet panels, pockets and tabs together before cutting to make better use of the leather.

At this thickness, consider the combined thickness of folded edges, seams and overlapping panels. Wallet interiors and clothing details may require skiving or a different construction method to achieve your preferred finish.

Choosing and preparing your piece
Before cutting Iron Bark Leather, lay out your pattern pieces and check their orientation. Allow room for seam allowances, folds and any matching panels. Natural hide outlines mean that usable cutting dimensions matter as well as total area.

Test adhesives, conditioners and finishing products on a small offcut first. Check the dried result before treating visible panels, particularly when maintaining a light brown colour is important.
