Clutch Class is back, and this time you pick the leather color and decide if you want a zipper or a flap! Come learn to make leather goods and create your own vegetable-tanned leather clutch bag.
In this single-day workshop, you will either adjust an existing pattern or select from several pre-made patterns, then cut and stitch your own envelope-style clutch bag with an optional wrist strap and either a snap closure or a zipper.
This workshop will take place at Amend and Adapt Studios in Brookland, NE, Washington, DC, from noon to 5 p.m. Most students will finish their projects during the workshop. If it looks like you won't finish during class time, we will get you prepped to finish at home.
You will need to provide your own leather for this workshop!!!
You will supply a leather project panel in 3.5oz to 5oz vegetable-tanned leather, at least 11” x 18” (if you want a smaller or larger clutch, size down or up). If you need help sourcing your leather, reach out to Katie, and she can help you get the right panel for your project.
