'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Tote Bag
About the Course
Make a Bag in a Day - Craft it Yourself!
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 to start your journey into leatherwork and bag making as you will experience the wide variety of tasks involved in the work. In order to complete your bag in a 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 day you will be directed by your tutor Leathersmith and London College of Fashion Lecturer Georgie Tym to make:
A fully lined 'Turned seam' 'W Base' Medium Leather Tote bag with raw edge straps. There will be one small pocket inside attached to the lining
The dimensions of the Tote Bag are 300mm x 320mm x 160mm.
It will be the same construction as the bag in the photos - please contact for more info or view online

I thoroughly enjoyed my Tote ‘Bag in a day’ one day course, so much so that I’ve signed up for more! I love the bag I made and had so much fun making it. I’ve since received many lovely compliments about my tote. It is obvious that Georgie is an expert in her field and enjoys passing on her knowledge - she does so in a calm, reassuring manner which makes the course perfect for beginners. Thank you so much Georgie!
