Hello Guys,
I want to make a model of two pieces of leathers joining with stitches. I can only think of hand modeling twisting around with tubing and pulling few lines around the tube.
Are there anymore genius way of thinking to model this? Any plugin? Thank you…
I’m trying to make it as realistic as possible.

You could work with quads and the subdivision technique. This is just to get an idea of what you could start from, then depending on how realistic you want it to be, add details and create quality textures for render (with UV unwrapping and UV mapping, PBR materials, etc…).
Follow tutorials about quads, stiches and apply the same technique in SketchUp, but with the tools you have at your disposal (maybe Vertex Tools, QuadFace Tools, SUbD, etc…)
