arjimlad Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I have a pigskin cartridge bag & the stitching is wearing out around the buckles the strap attaches to, and where the front fastening sits. Does anyone know who I could contact to have it restitched ? I'd try myself but I would probably botch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I did the end cap on an old leather slip, and it was very satisfying, and not too tricky. YouTube Saddle stitch and get the bits off ebay for under a tenner of you want to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use mine all the time for repairs or making dog leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks for the tip on the handawl stitcher @Smokersmith and @Dave at kelton I bought a "speedy stitcher" hand awl online and managed to do the job to my satisfaction in front of the telly over a couple of evenings. It's not as "professional" as might have been but is serviceable enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 The more you use them the better you get. Point is you have a serviceable bag again due to your own efforts and a tool you can use in the future. I have lost count of the number of dog leads I have made out of a roll of red webbing using mine. Saved me and my mates a fortune over the years! Fixed and old canvas fishing bag too!

Smokersmith Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Pleased you got a result 👍 If you wanted some more practice, you could unpick your work and replace it with a thread colour that matched the original 😗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
