Thinking to make a belt loop holder for an accessory. I ordered some leather scraps off Fleabay, but what do you use underneath the leather to make it rigid?
I've had some leather things fall apart after years and it looks like some have a thin tough almost like toilet paper roll backing? Like very stiff cardboard, but thinner.
Also if you could, any advice on hand sewing needles that go through leather and that backing easier? And what type "threading" might hold up best? I don't have a machine, so I'll be "roughing it".
Planning to stitch the leather outsides together inside out, then flip it right side in and slide the tough backing inside. Does this sound anything like the right way to do it? I have sewn things before, but not familiar working anything with this tough of a texture. Any tips are appreciated! Thanks!
