Engineering with fabric

[Zephyrin]

Wow, this is very kind, my project is not so ready, the wife has to decide for fabrics colour, If "we " decide for leather, it is certainly not a job that I could do...

Leather shouldn't cause much of a problem,just don't buy one that is too thick.It needs to be nice and supple.
Its only another type of fabric.The only time it becomes awkward  is if its deep buttoned and thats only because you're puncturing holes in it so you have to be right first time.
