Grace reviewed: Leather Traveller's Bag

"I had a wonderful day making a bag in my own choice of leather colours & textures. I learned a lot and enjoyed the process of putting the whole project together. I had no prior experience of leather work but the tuition was fantastic at every step, making this suitable even for a complete novice. I’d highly recommend this workshop!"

Catherine Edwards Leather responded:

"Thanks so much for your feedback it really means a lot, I had a lovely day too! "

"I had a really lovely day at this workshop, Cathy was so accommodating and helpful, just the right balance of teaching and demonstrating vs. letting me do things myself. I'm over the moon with my finished bag, looks so much more professional than I ever imagined I could manage. Think this could well be a new hobby I stick with and I'm keen to learn more. Thank you so much! :-)"

"My sister and I had a fantastic day with Catherine. A wonderful sense of achievement completing a bag from the uncut leather to the finished product. We learnt so much, will definitely be booking in for another course with Catherine."

Cath reviewed: Leather Traveller's Bag

"Had amazing experience, Cathy was so welcoming and loves leather. Choosing colours and cutting the leather was great and Cathy's expert help any time was so helpful. Cathy never took over, she just showed 'how' and gave all the encouragement needed. Had the best day. Thank you Cath."

"Catherine is a good teacher, patient, calm and a very nice person. The workshop is a nice place to work/ learn and the course (Travellers bags) was successful! The two of us finished the product, one comfortably and one scampering to complete! But, Catherine was calm and reassuring that time was ok, which assuaged my uncomfortable feelings of needing to rush. The sewing together took longer than I, we and I suspect she, imagined. Overall, a great experience, good value for money and I soundly recommend it."

"Fabulous day with Catherine. Came away with a beautiful traveller’s bag. Catherine is a joy to be with. No complicated mathematics to grasp. Dividers do the job! 😁 The most challenging thing is deciding which leather to use. So happy with this day course. "

Catherine Edwards Leather responded:

"Dividers are my favourite tool! What a lovely day we had, well done you two, the time flew by!"

"Brilliant leather bag making day with the wonderful Cathy at Catherine Edwards Leather. Cathy ensured we had the perfect Apache green leather to then design, then create the most beautiful work bag for my partner! It was a long day but very rewarding, informative and sociable! Hebden Bridge was lovely in the sunshine too! "

Catherine Edwards Leather responded:

"Thanks so much Kevin! Hope Gemma liked the shoulder bag, Cathy"

"Catherine was a brilliant tutor! We absolutely loved this leather bag course. We had the most wonderful time choosing leather and creating the bag. I was so impressed at how quickly it came together and how professional the finished bag looks. What a perfect way to spend the day. The studio is a lovely space filled with old tools. I could move in! 😄 Thanks Catherine for making our day so perfect. "

Laura C reviewed: Make your own leather dog collar and lead

"Great experience from start to finish. Catherine is very warm, welcoming and makes you feel relaxed. Had a great time and loved learning how to make my own dogs collar and lead. I found it really interesting and now have got the "bug" so am going to try making some on my own 😁 Recommend to anyone who has an interest in this and would like to have a try themselves. Would make a great gift for someone! Thank you x"

Catherine Edwards Leather responded:

"Thanks so much Laura, we had a great time talking dogs and puppies and making the collar and lead for Miss Minnie! I've been having a good old look at your shop MinMont Pets, looks brilliant, lovely website! Cx"

"I had a lovely day making my traveller's bag, and I'm thrilled to bits with it! Cathy is a great tutor. She gave very clear instructions and demonstrations, then let me get hands on very quickly, to maximise the time available. And she coped admirably with my ineptitude when I got my thread in a knot or my rivets in the wrong place! I'd highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to have a crack at leather work. "
