Camera Bag Workshop

£189.00

Fancy a challenge? Spend the day creating your own stylish and versatile leather Camera Bag.

Working from my designed templates, you'll learn how to construct the bag from start to finish, including how to insert a zip. For those with previous leather sewing experience, there is also the option to add piping and a front pocket for an extra level of detail. As well as making the bag itself, you'll have the opportunity to create a matching strap. Depending on time and your preferred style, this can be plain, painted, or piped.

All sewing is carried out on my industrial sewing machines. Don't worry if you've never used one before — we'll begin with practice time to help you gain confidence before starting work on your bag. All materials are included, and you can personalise your design by choosing from a range of leather and suede lining colours. The bag is made using high-quality chrome-tanned leather, which offers the flexibility and durability needed for this style, as well as a wide choice of beautiful colours. By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a professionally finished leather bag that's both practical and uniquely yours.

PLEASE NOTE THIS WORKSHOP IS MORE SUITED TO THOSE WITH SOME SEWING EXPERIENCE.

Materials, tools, and colours provided. Tea and coffee included—just bring a packed lunch.

One-day workshop (10 am–6 pm), small class (max 3) at my Essex studio. Flexible dates—contact me to book.

Workshop duration: 1 day, 10am-6pm with 45 mins for lunch

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!
