Beginners Leather Bag Workshop

I've received enquiries for the leather bag workshop which seems to be rather popular. If you prefer to jump straight into bag making, then take this challenge to your first handcrafted leather bag. 

This basic briefcase bag is the perfect bag to begin with. Participants will be taught how to draft the paper pattern complete with actual dimensions which will then be used to cut the pieces of leather. This will be followed by various process which include assembling, burnishing edges, hand sewing and attaching hard wares.

The idea of this workshop is understanding the step by step process to create a handcrafted leather bag from draft to completion. At the end of the workshop, the participant will be able to go home and create another bag base on his/her own design with this new skill.
Time: 20hrs (approx.)

Brief process of making a leather carryall

This was a bag recently completed for an order. The client wasn't too keen with the usual brown so she opted for the forest green vege tanned instead. I've taken some shots to briefly show the process of creating this carryall which I would like to share especially to those who are considering picking up this skill.
