HideFlex

HideFlex is a leather deformation and pattern-adjustment tool for handcraft leatherworkers and makers. It turns experience-based judgments about wet stretch, dry shrink, cut allowance, and stitch tension into reusable, standardized calculations—helping reduce scrap and keep finished sizes consistent.

• Calibrate baseline parameters by hide type, thickness, tannage, and workshop climate
• Measure wet stretch, dry shrink, and hand-cut loss, then suggest size compensation
• Correct patterns from layered errors and balance stitch hole pitch with tension
• Browse independent craft knowledge on hide traits, wet/dry forming, cutting, and stitching
• Archive full craft schemes with category management, fine-tuning, and reuse
