💼 Learning Outcomes

From concept to edge finishes, each week we tick off a new component of the bag making process. Key learnings include:

  • Fundamental sewing skills. Get familiar with sewing fundamentals while we complete a series of samples to get us read for bag making.
  • Pattern making. Decide the shape of your bag with this simple and versatile bag pattern method. If pattern making isn't your cup of tea, we have some pre-made patterns ready for you to use.
  • Bag design. Material choices are key to a good bag design. We teach methods to pair materials to find the right structure and aesthetic for your future bag adventures. 
  • Bag making. The shape and materials we chose inform the bag making process. You will be guided through this step-by-step process to transform your materials into a real life 3D bag.
  • Bag finishings. Edge and hardware finishings are what separate a 'good' bag from a high quality piece. Learn material edge finishes and options for functional hardware and finishings. 
♻️ Upskill Learning Format

The beauty of this process is its adaptable and collaborative format. When upcycling, we rarely use the same material twice, so every process has marginal changes. Our step-by-step bag making process follows a core method with lots of options for customisation along the way. This way we can all use weird and wonderful materials in bringing unique bag designs to life.
