Description

This leather course is ideal for participants who already have some experience in leather work and the manufacture of bags or accessories. Ideally you have already visited our leather beginner’s course or the leather weekend workshop. For attending this course you should already be able to sew with the sewing machine (this does not necessarily have to be a leather sewing machine) or you are already relatively safe in the hand sewing with the two-needle technique or the hand sewing machine.

The theme of this workshop is a leather handbag. To ensure that all participants have the chance to finish a bag in two days, we will work with existing patterns. Smaller adjustments to the individual ideas of the participants are, of course, possible.

The participants can select from 4 different patterns and make a shopper, a bucket bag or one of two smaller handbag models with shoulder strap. It is also possible that the participants bring their own finished pattern. The material is not included in this course, but can be bought in our studio or you bring your own Material.

The bags can be sewn by hand and by experienced participants also with the machine. The bags can be made with or without inner lining and with buttons or zippers.

This course teaches the following skills:

Production of a leather handbag with handle or shoulder strap
Understanding of cutting patterns for leather processing
Different leather qualities and the right choice of leather for the product to be manufactured
Leather tools and their application

Attaching buckles, zips and buttons
