Description

DIY Leather Pouch / Clutch Craft it Yourself! This DIY zip pouch kit is ideal for all. From total beginners to confident makers you CAN make your own luxury leather bag at home. You will learn the basics of leather craft for accessories and be introduced to techniques including application of wax and edge finishing, screw-in hardware, hand stitching on leather and bag construction. This is a perfect introductory course to start your journey into Leather work and accessory making as you will experience the wide variety of tasks involved in the work and create a bag to be proud of. This is the perfect pack to keep you busy crafting at home when you are looking for a new hobby. In order to complete your bag you will need to follow the step-by-step instructions included in the pack. There will be a pre-cut leather piece and hole punched zip panel which will require you to finish the leather with a wax included in the pack and sew the leather to the zip to complete the bag. Although the pack is pre-prepared and work has been completed for you do not fear as there is still plenty of work and learning for you to do. The pouch has a zip top closure. It is a raw edge construction to give a classic look. Completed in this buttery soft vegetable tanned leather results in a supple but structured piece. The bag is unlined but the size ensures the perfect space for all essentials. The dimensions of the purse are H 160mm x W 240mm x D 7mm and it will be the same construction as the bag in the photos featured. There are no additional costs. All tools, leather and products will be included in the kit. There is a selection of leather and hardware colours for you to choose from but if you require a bespoke colour please get in touch as we may be able to help. More kits available (see my other listings using the "more from this maker" button).

"I absolutely loved making this satchel bag! From start to finish everything was fabulous. The way Georgie packs the kits up is gorgeous, so it would make a beautiful gift for a crafty friend. The materials are very high quality, as are the instructions. You get both written instructions and a video, and the thing I found best of all is that Georgie is super helpful if you have questions during the process. Highly recommended from me!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed making my bag and purse - it was easier than I’d expected (I was almost disappointed that it took so little time to make them!) and I’m now tempted to make something else. The quality of the leather is excellent and the instructions very straight forward. Highly recommended."

Suki Baynton reviewed: DIY Leather Bag Kit - Cross Body Satchel to make at home

"I bought this kit from Georgie having had no experience at all of leather work and I wasn’t sure how good I would be but I needn’t have worried. Georgie was so helpful before I even bought it, helped me pick the colours, discussed what would fit in there (as I wanted to use it for my camera) and even sent me photos, she really goes above and beyond! When the kit arrived it was beautifully packaged, really high quality materials inside and lovely clear instructions and video links for all the tricky bits. I absolutely LOVED making this kit and my finished bag is beyond gorgeous and I never imagined I would be able to make something like this at home. I probably wouldn’t have been able to do one of Georgie’s classes due to distance so this has been the best option for me and I would recommend it to anyone!"

Hands of Tym responded:

"I am so pleased to read this :) thank you for your lovely kind words! The bag looked stunning and I hope it has sparked of a LOVE of bag making as it is wonderful G xxx"
