ironplanet uk900 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 We get asked to do this job quite often these days, alot of repairers refuse to do them. But it is easy to do. This is how we do them. Cut the stitches carfully with a sharp knife or blade, making sure not to damage the moulded "stitch track" Then peel back the unit to make room to do the repair. Then scive a patch to repair the damaged area. Then glue back the units and stitch back together. On mens shoes you can normally use your patching machine to sew back the units but there wasn't enough room in these shoes, so I blake stitched them. Now do the other one to match.

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice one, extra nice saying you have been so busy of late. For those who have difficulty in obtaining decent patching leather perhaps a mention of suppliers as a few shops that I know are always asking as to where they can get a good assortment. Being out of it I cant give the answer to current stockists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexus Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Follow this link to eBay, where there's usually heaps of leather offcuts in assorted colours. http://crafts.listings.ebay.co.uk/Leath ... ngItemList I bought a bag for about five pounds a couple of years ago, and we've hardly made any impression on it after hundreds of patching repairs! Or, of course, recycle old uncollected shoes and handbags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
