Beginners Leather Bag Making Workshop - How to create your own bag

Beginners Leather Bag Making Workshop

I have some enquiries for the Beginners Leather Bag Making workshop. Here is another example I would like to give by simply using very much the same pattern with the one taught in the workshop, to create another simple and elegant messenger complete with a shoulder strap. 

Careful guidance will be given through every step and process during lessons. Therefore, upon completion of this workshop, you will be able to create your own leather bags at home.

I've added another thin strip of leather 
to create a more interesting panel.

Since there will be a shoulder strap, the D ring 
holders are stitched in place on the gussets

Two needles saddle stitching the main panel to 
the gussets 

Assembling almost complete.

Time to burn some calories! Burnishing the edges 
is hard work and time consuming.

The before and after effects of burnishing.

Installing the shoulder strap. 

..and we now have an elegant messenger bag 
with a shoulder strap. Handle is optional.
