Well, this could be a silly question, I want to know the best pattern sheet or paper which is durable and easy to cut. What do you use for your pattern ?
Peter answered this well. I'll give some input as well... 😁 I work in the operating rooms in the US. I use the wraps they use to sterilize trays in to make ruff patterns. It's free and has a decent firmness. I staple it together. After that, since I order alot of second quality leather. I will sometimes fully make it from scrap leather. Especially smaller items like custom pocket slips. Then I send the scrap to the customer to make sure the knife, pen, flashlight or what not fits. If it does, I make the final item. PS Don't make custom pocket slips. They are a pain in the butt.
Hi Chaesu, not a silly question at all. We use 0.8mm thick bonded leather at the atelier. I especially like they your can use the creaser on it, etc if you need to make some more specific details and want to show the exact stitching punch placement and so on.
@atelierpeternitz wow, I've been always wondering what you've placed under the leather when you were stitching or creasing. Now I got what it is! Bonded leather, thank you so much Peter!
Now I have the bonded leather from Salamander, the grey one with 0.6mm thick. Mind if I ask where do you get your bonded leather?
