After a presentation of the workshop and a chat about the craft and leather, you will learn about the pattern of your model, which will serve as a basis throughout the production of your pouch.

After choosing your pattern, you will choose the leathers and the colour of your thread from a selection adapted to the manufacture of your pouch. You'll continue the workshop with an introduction to the hand-cutting technique on a few leather scraps, before working on your pouch. Once you've cut your model and traced the assembly marks, you'll be able to discover the different stages and techniques involved in making your pouch. Next comes the hand stitching, using the appropriate tools: saddle stitch pliers, needles and awl. You will have taken the time beforehand to prepare this stitching in minute detail with the help of the striking claws.

To finish off your pouch in style, you'll finish with the pampering stage.
