One Day Bag Workshop
One Day Bag Workshop
Come along and make a complete leather bag in one day! On the course you will firstly learn about different types of leather and how to select the right type for your bag. Choose from either a tote bag or fold over clutch bag design. Furthermore, you will learn how to insert a lining, create an internal, zipped pocket as well as how to make and attach handles. All sewing is done on one of my 3 INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINES which you will get to practice on first. Tools, equipment and materials are all provided with a range of colours to choose from, however, you are more than welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Subsequently, you may also emboss your initials onto the bag for that personal touch! Please contact me when booking to discuss your requirements. If you have a leather garment or jacket you would like to upcycle then let me know. Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the day, you just need to bring a packed lunch.
Workshop duration: 1 day, 10am-5pm with 45 mins for lunch

I had a wonderful day learning how to work with leather. Rosanna made the process easy and was an excellent teacher. I made a lovely fold over clutch bag which I'm very proud of. I also purchased her book, which is full of useful tips and patterns. I can't wait to start making my own leather items at home.

I attended the one day bag making course with my daughter. Rosanna is an excellent teacher and we came away with a lovely clutch bag each. We learnt many techniques for our first venture into leather work. Rosanna gave us lots of advice and information on suppliers and equipment to enable us to have a go at home. Thanks Rosanna for such a lovely day!

I wanted to know more about working with leather and decided to book a place on the one day “Make your own bag” workshop. I’m so glad I did. Rosanna is a wonderful teacher and full of knowledge. You work at your own speed and don’t feel rushed at all. You can ask a thousand and one questions and in between “tea on demand” and lots of chat I came away knowing so much more and with a determination to come back for a second course.
I made a beautiful bag which I love, love, love! It’s stunning and so much better and more professional looking than I could ever have imagined. Thank you so much!
