Description
Our 1.0–1.2mm Bargain Sheep Leather Hide offers excellent value for leatherworkers, students, hobbyists and makers looking for genuine sheep leather at an affordable price. Each hide measures approximately 7.5–9 square feet, providing a useful amount of lightweight and flexible leather for small to medium-sized projects.
Sheep leather is naturally soft, supple and easy to work with. At 1.0–1.2mm thick, it can be cut, folded and stitched by hand or with a suitable sewing machine. It is particularly useful for projects where flexibility is more important than heavy structure.
As a bargain-grade leather, each hide may contain natural markings, colour variations, small holes, scars, uneven edges or other cosmetic imperfections. These characteristics make it an economical choice for prototypes, practice pieces, workshop projects and products where smaller sections can be cut around any imperfections.

Uses and Applications
This bargain sheep leather is well suited to linings for handbags, wallets, cases and pouches. Its lightweight construction also makes it useful for soft accessories, costume work, garment panels, bookbinding, decorative projects, jewellery backing and general craft applications.
Leathercraft students and beginners can use these hides to practise pattern cutting, stitching, gluing and edge-finishing techniques without using more expensive premium leather. Experienced makers may find excellent usable sections for smaller components, prototypes and concealed interior pieces.
Because every hide is genuine leather, its appearance, shape and natural characteristics will vary. We recommend allowing for imperfections when planning your cutting layout.
Why Choose This Bargain Sheep Leather?
This leather provides an economical way to purchase a complete genuine sheep hide rather than small offcuts. The approximate 7.5–9 square foot size gives you flexibility when arranging patterns and selecting the most suitable sections for your project.
Mac-Lace Leather supplies leather to professional makers, leathercraft enthusiasts, students and manufacturers throughout Australia. Our bargain-grade range is particularly useful when affordability and practical usability matter more than a completely uniform appearance.
