eric hawkins reviewed: One Day Small Leather Goods Workshop

"A great 1 day course and very good value for money. The course content was clearly explained and the projects suitable for beginners. You get to make 3 items from quite a comprehensive list. Sarah is lovely and very helpful; nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Lunch was excellent and we finished at around 5:00pm with 3 nice pieces each. Thanks Sarah and best wishes for continued success with your courses."

"I really enjoyed this course. Sarah was really welcoming, explained and demonstrated everything clearly and helped and supported us throughout. I came away with some beautiful products - can’t believe I made them myself, never having worked with leather before. Highly recommend."

"Had a wonderful day on the saddle bag workshop. Would definitely recommend this workshop - so much fun and learnt a lot and got to take a beautiful bag home that I made! Sarah showed us all step by step what to do and explained everything clearly and was always at hand to help out when we needed. Lunch was brilliant too! Me and my friend both had a wonderful day and we both have a beautiful leather bag to show for it! Thanks Sarah for such a fabulous course - we will definitely be back to do a different bag soon! x"

"Fully recommend Sarah’s leather bag workshop. Had a great day in a lovely environment learning the techniques and I’m so happy with the bag that I made. Sarah is a great teacher, will help you as little or much as you need and she has lots of tricks to resolve any mistakes. Lunch is good too!"

"My friend and I did the cross-body bag in a day workshop. It was really interesting & everyone produced fantastic bags. Sarah was an excellent and patient teacher. We came away very proud of bags & a newly learnt skill. Well worth the money, would love to do another one & the dogs are lovely!"

"I loved every part of this workshop. Sarah was extremely patient with everyone on the course, explaining all concepts clearly and giving us practical demonstrations. She ensured that everyone successfully made a unique, hand-made saddlebag in a day and take home something to be proud of. This is one bag that will never go to a charity shop for sure! I would love to make another Eileen-designed bag and am planning what item I can make next :-) Thank you so much Sarah for teaching me such a great new skill!"

"Such an amazing day, it was the perfect way to zone out from daily life and enjoy a new craft. I was a complete novice but Sarah was on hand at every step and gave clear and helpful advice and tips. I am over the moon with my bag, it's doing me proud and it smells amazing! ? I'll be looking to do another course soon and I've been recommending left, right and centre. Thanks Sarah."

Helen Godding reviewed: One Day Small Leather Goods Workshop

"Very sociable meeting others. Didnt realise there were so many stages to making a bag. It was hard work concentrating . Didnt think i would remember the stitching sequence but soon got into the cycle and found it quite relaxing. Very pleased with the results. Love my bag. We were very lucky to choose any colour leather. Excellent instruction , friendly tutor. Sarah was extremely patient with us all. Nice food and drinks. Catered for all drinks. Great to have fruit teas and decaf drinks, appreciated. Great day. Thanks very much."
