Leather Bag
Making by Machine
The online class for bag makers who have always
wanted to work with leather but aren't sure where to start
We had such a great time in the 2024 Leather Bag Making by Machine classes that we just had to bring it back! That being said, we're excited to announce the return of The Banda Bag online class in January 2025.
​
The class is mostly self-paced and designed to work with your schedule. It includes six pre-recorded video lessons that will be released over the course of 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.​
$350

An exclusive Simply Classic pattern that will never be released outside of this course.
Although an industrial sewing machine is not required, it is highly recommended. We have found that semi-industrial machines do quite well with our thinner leathers (Janome HD9 or Juki TL18), and some of the high-end Berninas sew through it with no problems at all (Bernina 500 series & above). Each student is required to know the capabilities of their sewing machine and only use materials their machine can handle.
No matter which machine you are using, a walking foot is essential for the success of your Banda Bag.
