About this Event
In this five hour long class you will be making a small tote bag, similar to the ones in the photo, with a single handle and the option to add a strap on the sides in the future. We will be learning skills such as how to use a pattern, cut a hide, adding simple stamping, dyeing, and finally assembly. We will be stitching by hand and once you get the hang of it, it becomes very meditative.
Basic outline:
- Designing patterns
- Cutting material
- Tooling
- Dying
- Finishing
- Assembly
Materials fee: $40 (Pay to instructor at beginning of class.)
