About the Course
A practical and supportive intermediate sewing course designed for sewists who have completed a beginners course or who already feel confident with the basics of sewing.
Over three evening sessions, you’ll develop your garment-making skills while creating a more advanced clothing project. You’ll build confidence with pattern reading, garment construction, fitting, and professional finishing techniques.
A suitable pattern will be provided for your chosen project, allowing you to focus on developing your sewing skills and creating a beautifully finished garment.
🔹 Bring your own sewing machine (must be in good working order). If you don’t have one, let me know—I can provide one for you.
🔹 All tools (scissors, rulers, etc.) will be provided for use during the course.
🔹 Your pattern will be provided before the course begins. You will need to have it printed and cut out ready for the first session.
🔹 You will need to provide your own fabric and matching thread (fabric guidance and requirements will be provided before the course begins).

Materials
Materials
We use the highest quality cowhide leather in all of our bags and accessories.
The plain cowhide leathers are medium weight and have a light pebbled texture. They are soft and flexible.
The patterned 'hair on' cowhides are medium weight and have the hair left on the hide. The reverse of these bags are usually plain black cowhide leather.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Leathers can be wiped with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use small amount of leather cleaner.
For suede, gently buff stain with suede brush or nail brush. Light coloured suedes stain very easily so extra care must be taken.
