You can make the DIY Shoulder Bag with our Online Course, the Bagmaking Kit or in our 1-day workshop.
Designed for total beginners and fully stitched on a standard sewing machine - this shoulder bag is the perfect project if you're looking to give bag making a go!
This handbag will take you approximately 4-6 hours to make, so it's the ideal project to make in a weekend. 🙌

See what myself, my team and students have been making. 🤩
Whilst the bagmaking kit comes with some basic fabric lining, we recommend adding your own lining to completely personalise your bag. 🌟

Katie chose this pistachio green lizard effect leather to make her shoulder bag. The lizard effect leather has a slightly softer temper which gives the bag a slightly softer look - I personally love it!
Nerrisa attended a 1-day workshop and brought along her own Vivienne Westwood leather to use. The final product was stunning!
