Simple Cross Body Leather Bag Workshop
Make your own leather cross body bag in a relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop.
If you've always fancied making a leather bag but don't know where to start, this is a lovely introduction to traditional leatherwork.
Designed to involve a little less stitching than our full-day bag workshop, you'll learn the essential techniques before creating a simple leather cross body bag that you'll be able to use and enjoy long after the workshop is over.
Choose from several styles and sizes, then select your leather colour, buckles and fittings to give your finished bag a look that's personal to you.
No previous experience is needed. With a maximum of five people, the group is kept small so Sarah can provide plenty of individual help throughout the day.
What you'll learn
How to mark and cut leather
Traditional hand saddle stitching
How to construct a leather bag
Cutting and making a leather strap
Riveting
Edge finishing and burnishing
Attaching buckles and fittings
Your strap can also be made detachable, allowing you to use your finished bag as a clutch.
Your day
The workshop runs from approximately 9:45am–3:30pm and costs £130 per person.
All leather, fittings and materials are included, along with an individual packed lunch from our local tea rooms and tea and coffee.
This workshop uses our simple cross body bag designs and doesn't include additional pockets or completely different bag designs. If you'd like more choice and the opportunity to make a more involved design, our One Day Leather Bag Making Workshop would be perfect.
Please note: Workshop deposits and payments are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another date within one month of the booked workshop.
