Tutor: Make a Messenger Style Bag

Course programme

Statement handbags are so last season. The only statement you’ll want to make about this contemporary bag is ‘I made it myself’. Build on your basic sewing skills and make a versatile and functional messenger style bag using a simple pattern. Learn how to attach a lining, construct your bag and customize it using simple embellishment techniques. Create your own personal stamp by choosing your own fabric and lining – go urban utilitarian, funky or floral. Great to keep for yourself or make as a gift for either him or her.
