Now available in India exclusively through SneakyLeather.com, John James Curved Repair Sewing Needles (Pack of 3) are the essential tool for heavy-duty stitching and tricky repair jobs. Also known as curved mattress needles, these needles are a must-have in every leatherworker’s and upholsterer’s kit for tackling those tough-to-reach areas that straight needles can’t handle. Manufactured in the UK by John James – a heritage brand trusted by leathercrafters worldwide since 1840 – this set delivers superior quality, durability, and performance with every stitch.
 
Crafted from high-grade steel, each needle in this set is built to withstand the demands of leather and upholstery work without bending or breaking. The curved design allows you to sew at angles that make it easy to stitch inside confined or awkward spaces, such as repairing seams on a cushioned chair, mending a leather car seat, or closing up a handcrafted leather bag. Whether you’re a seasoned leatherworker, a DIY crafter, or a professional repair specialist, these curved needles provide the control and strength needed for a neat, secure finish on heavy materials.
 
Each pack contains 3 needles in a convenient assortment of sizes (typically including popular 2-inch and 3-inch lengths) to accommodate various project needs. This mix of sizes gives you the versatility to handle delicate detailed work as well as larger repair tasks with ease. The needles feature sharp tips and smooth eyes for easy threading with heavy-duty threads, allowing you to push through thick leather or multiple fabric layers confidently (a thimble or pliers can be used for extra leverage on very tough materials).
 
Key Features:
Heavy-Duty Strength: Made from hardened steel for long-lasting use, these needles resist bending under pressure and can pierce through tough leather, canvas, or upholstery fabrics.
Curved Design Advantage: The semicircular shape lets you reach tight spots and awkward angles that straight needles can’t, ensuring you can sew repairs in corners, seams, and hard-to-access areas seamlessly.
Versatile Assorted Sizes: Includes a range of commonly used sizes (e.g. 2" and 3" needles) to suit different tasks. Tackle fine stitching on smaller projects or heavier stitching on thick upholstery all with one convenient pack of 12.
Multi-Purpose Utility: Ideal for a variety of applications, from leathercraft repairs (bags, wallets, straps) to upholstery work (sofas, car seats, cushions) and even general household crafts like sewing fabric boxes or lampshades.
Trusted Quality: Produced by John James, a renowned British needle manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1840, synonymous with precision and reliability. You can count on consistent performance and authentic quality in every needle.
