WORKSHOP PROCEDURE :
The workshop begins with the discovery of a multitude of materials. You will then learn how to pattern a leather wallet.
You will then be able to choose the leathers for your purse, then the thread, and start making it.
With the help of the pattern, you will trace the markings and then choose the right punches to make the holes corresponding to the tracings. You will then prepare the hand stitching with the punching claws, then use the saddle stitch or saddle stitch pliers and start lacing with the thread and needle.
To finish off your accessory beautifully, place the screw button to close your pretty accessory.
