Any tips on Turning bag inside out? Working with some heavier leather and though I haven’t tried soaking it yet just wondered if there was any tips. Used a looser whip stitch hoping that it would be easier to work
 
This bag was hand stitched on the inside seams. I ran it under hot water in the bathroom tub to saturation then turned inside out. Then applied a liberal coating of neatsfoot oil.

I stitch tight inside out, then soak in water. It will still be a bit of a chore but will turn out. Use smoothed edged pieces of wood to push out corners and along seams. Have everything you want done and apply stain while still a bit wet. Stuff with towels to shape and let dry in warm place a few days. Will be somewhat stiff but will loosen up with use.
