Half Moon Bag Workshop




Half Moon Bag Workshop
Introducing the Half Moon Bag Workshop!
Join us for a creative, hands-on day of bag making and leave with your very own stylish and practical Half Moon day bag.
During this one-day workshop, you’ll explore different types of leather and learn how to choose the best one for your project. You'll also gain valuable skills such as inserting a lining, adding an internal zip pocket, and crafting and attaching handles.
All sewing will be done on one of my three industrial sewing machines, with plenty of time to practice beforehand. All tools, equipment, and materials are provided, with a beautiful selection of leather colours to choose from.
As a special finishing touch, you'll have the option to emboss your initials onto your bag—time permitting—for a truly personal touch.
Workshop details:
Duration: 1 day (10am–5pm), including a 45-minute lunch break
Group size: Maximum of 3 participants
Location: My garden studio in Essex
What's included: Materials, equipment, tea and coffee throughout the day

Dates are listed on my website, but as class sizes are small, I can usually be flexible. If you don't see a date that suits you, feel free to reach out—I'm happy to discuss alternative options.

I had a wonderful day learning how to work with leather. Rosanna made the process easy and was an excellent teacher. I made a lovely fold over clutch bag which I'm very proud of. I also purchased her book, which is full of useful tips and patterns. I can't wait to start making my own leather items at home.

I attended the one day bag making course with my daughter. Rosanna is an excellent teacher and we came away with a lovely clutch bag each. We learnt many techniques for our first venture into leather work. Rosanna gave us lots of advice and information on suppliers and equipment to enable us to have a go at home. Thanks Rosanna for such a lovely day!

I wanted to know more about working with leather and decided to book a place on the one day “Make your own bag” workshop. I’m so glad I did. Rosanna is a wonderful teacher and full of knowledge. You work at your own speed and don’t feel rushed at all. You can ask a thousand and one questions and in between “tea on demand” and lots of chat I came away knowing so much more and with a determination to come back for a second course.
I made a beautiful bag which I love, love, love! It’s stunning and so much better and more professional looking than I could ever have imagined. Thank you so much!
