Jonathan Howell reviewed: Stitchless bags workshop - learn how to craft your own leather bag with no stitching

"Ok, so I did have a little trouble finding the place but that's me. However, once there, with a welcoming cup of tea in hand, you can relax into a totally non-stressful and deeply creative morning. A workshop so ably and gently led by Esther, demonstrating; encouraging; and enabling all the time, 'till, before you know it, 3 hours have just flown by; final touches completed; everyone else's creations admired; photo the bag - and then the realization hits - "Wow, I made that !" Thank you Esther."

Leather Needle Thread responded:

"What a lovely review!! Thank you so much Jonathan. It was really nice to meet you and I loved your bag!"

Toby reviewed: Stitchless bags workshop - learn how to craft your own leather bag with no stitching

"Second time in a course from Esther and thoroughly enjoyed it again. Esther is a great teacher and explains everything so well. It’s a small group so you get plenty of time when you need support or advice. And you come away with a completed bag in three hours. If you are considering this workshop, definitely sign up. It’s a great introduction to working with leather. Thanks Esther and look forward to another course in 2020."

Naomi reviewed: Stitchless bags workshop - learn how to craft your own leather bag with no stitching

"What a wonderful way to spend a few hours - attended the half day no stitch bag course and loved every minute. Esther is a fab teacher and very patient (when you um and ah over what colour combos) . I learnt loads and came away with a little treasure that I keep swinging about in front of people - pleased as punch. Will be back to learn more leather techniques."

"Enjoyable and productive 3 hours. Good range of leather and 3 styles of bag we could choose from. Small group so plenty of individual help and Esther was excellent at trouble-shooting to help us make small changes or correct mistakes. We 6 each successfully made a unique bag. I love mine."

Esther was very well organised and flexible enough to enable all of us to make a bag using our choice of pattern, colour of leather, handle type, etc. I learnt such a lot and am extremely proud of the bag I brought home.

There are different bag designs and a beautiful range of leathers to choose from, which means everyone can make a bag which is unique to them. Lovely atmosphere - very friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended! Still smitten with my new bag! Thank you Esther"

Stitchless Bags Workshop reviewed: Stitchless bags workshop - learn how to craft your own leather bag with no stitching

"Really excellent course. You are given a choice of bag design and colour and then you get on with making them in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Esther gives clear and simple instructions and lots of one-to-one attention. It felt good for the soul to be making something with my hands and now I have a lovely bag that has already received compliments (just on my way home from the workshop!). I highly recommend it!"

Lily Doble reviewed: Stitchless bags workshop - learn how to craft your own leather bag with no stitching

"Absolutely brilliant course! Esther helped throughout the morning but also let us get stuck in and do our own thing. Really loved getting creative and properly using my hands to make something to be proud of. Also, excellent tea and cake at the venue we were at which was provided (and made a welcome break from mallet work!). Can't stop looking at my lovely little bag, thank you again."
