A group trip to the supply houses will be scheduled at the first class to purchase materials, leather, and more. You should expect to spend approximately $160-$200 on your supplies which includes having the soles put on professionally.

Purses are all the rage in accessories, but why pay hundreds of dollars or more when you can learn to make your own and never have to buy a knock-off again. Purchase your favorite colors, prints, and textures in leather and fabric and make a purse uniquely your own from a pattern the instructor will design with you. Students will purchase their own supplies. $10 materials' fee for components, payable at the first class.

Making a set of paper patterns is the first step before your custom-made leather bag can materialize. After planning the size and silhouette of your bag, the class will be taught drafting techniques to transform these measurements into a variety of corresponding cut paper shapes to be used as templates for cutting all the component materials that comprise your bag. Learn how to make the pieces accurately fit together when the bag is finally constructed. Students can create patterns for such handbag styles as totes, hobos, messenger and travel bags. Continue with the Make It! Purses + Handbags class to build the actual bag.

Great starter class if you have not yet begun creating shoes in Shoemaking for Beginners. Intermediate/Advanced shoemakers will find the quality of your work improve when you have worked out your patterns and ideas first. Mules, pumps, d' Orsay's, Chelsea boot patterns and oxfords will be covered.

Beginners can move on to Shoemaking for Beginners to create your mule (any open back shoe) projects.
