Sew Your Own Leather Tote Workshop
3 July 2026 | 10am–1pm
Create a beautiful, timeless leather tote from natural materials.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll design and make your own tote bag from start to finish. From creating a simple pattern and selecting your materials to learning construction techniques and assembling your bag, you'll be guided through every step of the process.
Working with soft, natural sheepskin hides, you'll learn how to cut, assemble, and sew leather using a standard domestic sewing machine. The result is a unique, handcrafted tote that will age beautifully and become a trusted everyday companion for years to come.
All materials are included, including ethically sourced lamb hides available in a wide range of colours. By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a finished tote bag, your custom pattern, and the confidence to continue exploring leather sewing at home.
All materials included.
Skill Level
Basic sewing experience required.
Duration
Approximately 3 hours.
Spaces
Limited to 6 participants to ensure plenty of individual guidance.
