Oooh, check out those metallics!! I didn't see any white, but then
again I didn't look past the first page. It would be worth
contacting the seller to find out how thin the kid leather is.
At one point, the Silly Sisters (18thC clothing makers & merchants)
had stay binding leather available in a 1/2" strip, sold by the foot.
I'm not sure if it was kid, but it was definitely thin enough to
sew.
I hate the idea of cutting up antiques, but there are kid leather
gloves around where the hand is about 2" across and they would only
fit ET. Or if you can find them as single gloves (unpaired) or
damaged.
