Make a Leather Cross Body Bag
COURSE FULL

On this one day course you will make a simple cross body bag. There are two different sizes to choose from (21 x 16 x 6cm or slightly larger 23 x 19 x 7cm). You will get to choose your leather colour, buckles and locks to make a bag that is individual to you. Many of the participants
on Sarah's previous workshop liked their bags so much that, rather than give them as a gift, they ended up keeping them for themselves!

You will begin by learning the basic leather skills (or refreshing your memory of them) by firstly learning and practicing how to hand stitch leather. You will learn marking out, choosing appropriate leather, hand saddle stitching and edge finishing.

Throughout the day you will do:

  • Cutting out leather.
  • Hand Saddle Stitching.
  • Constructing a 3 dimensional bag.
  • Cutting and making a strap.
  • Riveting.
  • Finish edges (burnishing).
  • Attaching a buckle.

This workshop is suitable for beginners, but it is also great for people with some experience.

All materials, light lunch and refreshments are included in the course fee.
