Description

This is a great kit for anyone with a bit of sewing experience! Adult or child (12 years plus), male or female. A great gift for Christmas, as a stocking filler or just for yourself if you are quite crafty! The leather comes ready cut to size and the templates can be downloaded once you purchase the kit (if you would like to make it again). All the materials are included in the kit. You have the choice of 3 different colours of leather for the bag, tassel & strap (dark brown, grey or camel) and 3 colours for the lining fabric (black, cream or blue), just email me your choices when you order). Each kit comes with downloadable step by step instructions and a detailed video tutorial so you cannot go wrong! The tutorial shows how to use existing leather items like a jacket that you can upcycle so once you have made one with the kit you can use it again and again with other materials. *PLEASE SPECIFY COLOUR CHOICES UPON ORDER* *THIS PROJECT CAN BE SEWN ON A DOMESTIC MACHINE WITH A LEATHER NEEDLE* Please beware these kits are NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDER 12s due to the use of sharp tools.

My designs are mainly influenced by geometric shapes and Art Deco design. I've built up a wide range of skills and now have the luxury of time and space to make my own products and to experiment with techniques and styles. Ultimately though, I love passing on my passion for leather craft to other people by running a series of workshops. I cater for both individuals with 1 to 1 tuition and groups at my Essex studio or larger groups at other venues so email me if you'd like more information.

Geoff Bullen reviewed: Dog collar & lead course

"Having really enjoyed the full day leather workshop with Rosanna in 2023, I recently attended the dog lead and collar course. Rosanna is an excellent tutor and her new workshop is a lovely place to learn. I not only learned new skills and picked up more great ideas but also left with a lovely new lead and collar for my cocker spaniel. Would highly recommend. "

"I had a wonderful time yesterday on this workshop. I learned a good deal, and had fun making 3 beautiful and useful items that I'm thrilled with. A notebook case, a card case and a small but beautiful wallet. Excellent and knowledgeable tuition from Rosanna."

Geoff Bullen reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"As a complete beginner to leatherwork, I wondered how much I would enjoy the day. I did not need to have been concerned. Rosanna is a very skilled leatherworker and an excellent teacher. Over the day I managed to create five pieces of work that, although not always perfect, gave me a level of ability and enjoyment that was beyond my expectation. If you fancy a go I would strongly recommend Rosanna's workshops."

Anna Forrest reviewed: Hand stitched leather laptop case

"I spent a very enjoyable morning in Rosanna’s studio making a laptop case. There was a choice of several different lovely colours of leather and thread, and Rosanna guided me step by step through the making process. Leather is a wonderful material to work with, and Rosanna gave me just the right level of guidance. I am really delighted with the quality of what I made. "

Clare Rix reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"Rosanna is a great teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The hardest part was choosing what to make and which colour type of leather to use! Rosanna is always on hard to offer advice and guidance. I am looking to go back to do another one hopefully a bag this time. "

Emma Heylen reviewed: Half day: 3 Leather Accessories

"We had a fantastic morning doing leather crafts. Learnt a lot about leather itself and were taught all the basic skills to make our own bits. Made a card holder and a luggage tag both which look great thanks to Rosanna’s guidance and very excited to use them! Would recommend. "

"Thank you so much for an interesting day. Rosanna was excellent at explaining, demonstrating and providing individual help when required. A day well spent for anyone interested in learning a new skill in relaxed surroundings. Good to come away having actually made practical items that you can be proud of. Many thanks PS. The dog is very sweet too"

Carolyn reviewed: Saddle bag in a day workshop

"I had a lovely day on Friday making a saddle handbag with Rosanna. Learning all the skills and the speedy sewing machine (which was a challenge) and great knowledge from Rosanna. The Smithbrook Kilns is a lovely place with a few workshops and a café to stop at for lunch. Thank you"

Rosanna Clare responded:

"So glad you enjoyed it Carolyn, thanks for your review. Hope to see you again soon, Regards, Rosanna"

Chris B reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"I had a lovely, relaxed day in the workshop learning a range of skills and creating 5 items that I’m really pleased with. Rosanna is a great teacher, the workshop is small but cosy and the steady pace of the day made it rather therapeutic (although I wasn’t exactly ‘relaxed’ when I started on the machine stitching for the first time!). There was great freedom in what to create and how you wanted it to look so everything I created feels personal. I’d highly recommend this or any of the courses Rosanna offers and may we’ll be back myself one day!"

Trudy Coughlan reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"Attended the full day leather craft workshop, together with my daughter. I wanted to use an old handbag to make other items (I made a phone bag and a tray) and my daughter made several small items. I had done the handbag making course a few years ago and really enjoyed it so this was an add-on and refresher from that. My daughter also enjoyed her day, learning new skills and using a sewing machine. Rosanna is very knowledgeable and helpful and we both came away wanting to do more!"
