Practical Leather Course Making your own Leather Backpack. One day

http://www.handsoftym.com/product/make-y...

This course is ideal for all, from beginners to confident makers. You will learn the basics of leather craft for accessories and be introduced to techniques including machine stitching on leather, hand finishing and hand cutting. You will also be working with the full spectrum of leather types from soft leathers and suedes to a hard sturdy veg tanned leather. This is a perfect introductory course or follow on for those 1 day course students. You will start your journey into Leatherwork and bag making experiencing the wide variety of tasks involved in the work. In order to complete your backpack in one day we will use part pre-prepared components and the bag will be made from a 'Hands of Tym' pattern but do not fear there is still plenty of work for you to do.

During the course you will be directed by your tutor Leathersmith and London College of Fashion Lecturer Georgie Tym to make the 'turned seam' Leather backpack with drawstring and flap closure. It will have a raw edge strap with buckles to adjust and one flat pocket.

The dimensions of the bag are 250mm x 310mm x 200mm and it will be the same construction as the bag in the photo above.

There are NO ADDITIONAL costs. All leather, hardware and other materials will be included. There will be a selection of leather and hardware colours for you to choose from.

The course runs from 10am – 4.30pm. There will be lunch served at midday and tea/ coffee breaks throughout.
