This online class is part of the Leather Bag Making by Machine series and is designed for bag makers with some leatherworking experience who want to elevate their skills. The gusset of this crossbody bag is expertly laced to the front and back pieces, creating a striking and sophisticated look.
This class is mostly self-paced and designed to work with your schedule. It includes six pre-recorded video lessons released over 10 days, allowing you to pace yourself while learning proper techniques. The course also includes three optional Zoom check-ins with Simply Classic founder, Chris Murphy. Please see the class calendar (located above with the photos) for specific dates and details.

The Lacey is a distinctive crossbody leather bag that showcases a beautiful braided technique to attach the gusset to the front and back pieces. With minimal hardware requirements, this design allows the luxurious leather and intricate braiding to take center stage.
Inside, the bag features a convenient slip pocket for a cell phone, while the adjustable crossbody strap is secured with Sam Browne studs for a stylish and functional finish.
