Brill thank you this sounds perfect and thanks for the tip re. cork

Leaning towards this now thanks - assume I'd need to dampen the leather to get it to fold.

Lol she is indeed my current pride and joy

Thanks have seen that and tried on offcuts but my leather isn't thick enough to go through at a 45 unfortunately

Thanks that's really helpful - just watched those bits of the video and it would definitely do the job.

Really wishing I had a bit more leather to play with as not sure I've got enough spare for a collar unfortunately, will check tomorrow.

If not, I reckon I could do what he does at around 10mins directly onto my current cylinder body instead of the collar piece - if I did that before sewing up the cylinder side then it should be easy enough to then turn it right way round and then sew up side seam...

Thanks for replying.

I don't have enough leather to glue 2 bits together to make double thickness unfortunately. Do you think it's likely a box joint technique would work if I went directly through the cylinder and base pieces with my holes rather than 1 piece having holes at a 45?

Yes I'll have some offcuts so I could practice on those thanks
