"Best class I have ever taken for leather. Very well explained and demonstrated, nothing seems to faze Georgie, even tangled thread! Seriously considering doing it again and making it a group thing. Thanks"

Sue Thompson reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Rucksack/ Backpack

"I’ve tried several crafts and usually my initial effort is consigned to a “could do better” drawer and never seen again: but not this time. I am amazed at the quality of the bag I made, and everyone who has seen it has been pretty impressed, (maybe a few too many incredulous “you made that??” comments). Georgie is an excellent tutor with so much expertise and endless patience, and she made the day so relaxed and so much fun. I would highly recommend – I am going back to make another!"

"Had a great time last week at a the purse making course. On entering the workshop you a hit by a lovely smell of leather. Georgie is a friendly and skilled teacher to guide you through the stages but allowing you the freedom of individual design. And you leave with an item you can use every day. Thank you Georgie."

Laura reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Rucksack/ Backpack

"The build a bag course was one of the best things I have done all year. It was so cool choosing the colour combinations and using the expert machinery and tools. Georgie was warm and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and laid back. I was amazed how much we achieved in just one day. People always comment on my beautiful backpack. Next I’m going to do the make a wallet in a day course. I thoroughly recommend these unique and special courses."

"Thanks Laura it was great to have you and your bag is amazing!!"

Alexander MacLellan reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Rucksack/ Backpack

"I did this course back in December in time to make a bag for my wife for Christmas and it was brilliant! Under Georgie's expert tutelage I was able to make something that will last my wife a lifetime, I was also able to choose different colours and types of leather. My other half is thrilled with it and at first she didn't believe me when I said I'd made it. I can't recommend this course enough. It was a lovely atmosphere to learn a new skill in as well."

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thanks Alex and I am so happy to hear she loved it!"

Liz reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Mini Bucket bag

"I had a great day at the workshop with Georgie. Never in a million years did I think I could create something good enough to be in a designer handbag shop but I did! My bag is stunning and everything was explained perfectly from start to finish! It was such a lovely, relaxed day with lots of giggles and a brilliant finished product. The food was fab too!! Would love to come back again!"

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thanks Liz you and Lucy were amazing company in the workshop. Enjoy your gorgeous bucket bags and I hope to see you on another in the future BW Georgie"

paul porter reviewed: Pattern Cutting for Bags and Introduction to Leather craft - Designing Bags in 3D (1 week course)

"Wanting to design and make bags, but with no previous experience, this seemed the perfect course - i was not wrong. Georgie is an extremely gifted teacher, spending time explain different build techniques, but also backing this up with examples she has made. There was lots of time to ask questions about materials and best practice for items i had in mind to make. The 5 days seemed to pass very quickly, but i have mockups, notes and just as importantly supplier lists to help me in the future, as well as Georgie an email away. Thank you"

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thanks very much Paul for your kind words. I am so glad you found it helpful!"

Sheila Gillies reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Mini Bucket bag

"I made a small bucket bag in a day!! It was such fun. I went with my sister and a friend a couple of weeks before lockdown. Georgie was brilliant at explaining and demonstrating all the processes and skills needed, step by step. She was consistently positive with both patience and understanding, even when I went beyond the end time. The biggest decide I had t make was which colour leather to choose! Georgie provided an excellent lunch , drinks and cake So there was no preparation needed for us. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone."

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"

Anne Jury reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Mini Bucket bag

"I made a gorgeous top quality grey tote bag with Georgie's superb guidance a couple of weeks ago. Her calm, reassuring manner made for a relaxing, in the totally absorbed for 6 hours kind of way, day where I also met some amazing women. I love my bag and will definitely do another day. I can't recommend it enough for anyone who's 'crafty' enough to have a go at anything. I think both experienced sewers and beginners would both enjoy this day."

"Had a really lovely and creative day. I'm not usually famed for my practical skills but Georgie gave me the confidence and expertise to complete all the stages necessary to produce a good quality bag from really high quality materials. Really enjoyed completing this with my daughter who made a beautiful bucket bag that she uses all the time. Love my tote bag which will accompany me on numerous trips. Hoping to repeat the experience and make a bucket bag next time."

Jane Rushby reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Mini Bucket bag

"I had such a lovely time on this course. The choice of materials to make the bag from was fabulous, it was hard to choose, but I was very happy with my green/red combo. Georgie is a creative, knowledgeable and very kind and friendly teacher. It was quite hard work, learning to use the tools and machines, and Georgie was on hand to help us along and we had plenty of 1:1 attention from her. My bag is fabulous, I’ve been using it daily for work and have it on holiday with me now. I’ll be doing another course this year for sure! The course was held in a lovely workshop space, and we had delicious refreshments and lunch. Thank you Georgie ?"

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thank you! It was such a great day with you all :) Your green bag is great - I want one! Enjoy using it and please share a pics! Gxxx"
