Join me for an immersive three-day, intermediate-level class where you’ll build a beautifully constructed Dream Weaver Backpack while refining essential leatherworking techniques.
Throughout this class, we will focus on clean construction and practical, repeatable techniques, including:
· Creating zippered pockets
· Installing a zippered top closure
· Making backpack straps using thin, comfortable leather
· Creating a well-fitted fabric liner (no baggy liners)
· Constructing a flap with magnetic closure (Note: Decorative stitching will not be covered in this class)
· Achieving clean construction with fully finished edges
· Operating and sewing with industrial sewing machines
By the end of the class, you will leave with a completed backpack, a full pattern, and the knowledge and confidence to recreate the design on your own.
Materials:
Students will pick out and purchase their own bag leather from Maker’s.
Recommended leather options:
· Julie Baugher Chap Leather
· Lonestar Lineup
· Bag Leather in 3-4 oz with a soft hand
All other materials will be provided:
· Dark brown trim (strap connectors, zipper windows, straps, and YKK zipper tape)
· Brass hardware
· Neutral solid fabric for lining
