Description
Baja Blue lambskin leather with an even pebble grain, from our Floater article. The grain is embossed into a soft, light semi-veg tanned lambskin, so it has a little more body than a plain chrome lamb while still sewing, skiving and folding easily, and the raised texture keeps the hide looking good through everyday handling. Whole hides come in 11, 12, 13 or 14 sq. ft. at 0.8-1.0 mm (2-2.5 oz.).
Why Choose This Baja Blue Lambskin Leather
- Even embossed pebble grain – a consistent texture from one hide to the next
- Semi-veg tannage gives a firmer hand than a plain chrome lambskin, so panels hold their shape
- 0.8-1.0 mm substance that drapes, folds and sews on a domestic machine
- Large 11-14 sq. ft. whole hides for bigger pattern pieces and less waste
- The pebble grain helps hide scuffs and everyday wear
Best Uses for Baja Blue Pebble Lambskin
- Jackets, vests, skirts and soft garment work
- Handbags, totes, clutches and pouches
- Shoe uppers, slippers and footwear trim
- Gloves, hats, belts and accessories
- Wallets, card cases and small leather goods
- Costume and wardrobe work for film, TV and theatre
Working With Pebble Grain Lambskin
At 0.8-1.0 mm this lambskin sews well on a domestic or light industrial machine with a size 80/12 to 90/14 leather needle and a slightly longer stitch, so the needle holes do not weaken the seam. A walking foot or a non-stick foot helps it feed evenly on the grain side; hold layers with clips rather than pins, since pin holes stay in leather. Avoid pressing the face with a hot iron – heat can flatten an embossed grain – and use a low setting through a press cloth if a seam needs setting.
