what to do with leatherette?
well i had about 1m x 1.5 of red leatherette lying around and thought i'd put it to use and so made a new gearboot which is decent but the leatherettes pretty thick and tough, oh wells. i also started to do some trimming but leatherette just isnt for the trims i wanted so i've got leatherette left over, any suggestions on what to do with it?
