Enough to make small tarp or maybe poncho.

I dont want anything for it but if anyones got a bit of leather?

I would say about 2x1.8m at the most. Needs re hemming and the triangular ends a bit mouse chewed.

The tarp would be small but there is almost definitely a poncho in there.

Come to think of it I have another very similar...somewhere.

Leather wise I normally need veg tan but there are projects that offcuts of upholstery leather (even vulgar colours I am making leather flowers so especially vulgar colours) would be good for.

If yopu have plenty then is there anything you want?

Sorry, I came down with a horrendous cough/cold on Saturday, just starting to get over it now. I will dig out the leather today or tomorrow and see if it's of any use to you.
