<p>Small offcuts of leather, resulting from cutting large leather sheets in the mfr. of convential leather prods., are collected for sorting. Offcuts of similar thickness and with similar characteristics are joined together by adhesive between overlapped edges of offcuts. The adhered overlaps are then positively fixed together by sewing. The assembled patchwork of offcuts is then subjected to normal leather finishing operations. The patchwork sheet is suitable for making most leather goods which are usually made from whole sheets, e.g clothing such as waistcoats, handbags, suitcases and other luggage. Offcuts of leather which were previously scrapped can now be economically recovered as patchwork leather sheet. Careful selection and assembly of the offcuts can produce an esthetically pleasing sheet from which attractive, inexpensive prods will result.</p> |
