One day, one bag

Last thursday I started a workshop in leather bag making (at dth-leder). It's not a course with assignments, but you take your own design and the teacher helps you to put it together. From pattern-making to stitching. I started with a simple baggy bag. Always love less-is-more designs. At home I made a prototype with some scraps of fabric and long laces for the handles, to see whether my idea worked out. I chose some very soft grey leather for the body and added a dark green pocket. Above expectations I managed to finish the bag in one day. With a matching pouch in it. For the price of the workshop you could buy a small designer bag, but it is so much more rewarding to design and make your own.
