  • Leather Works: Make a Messenger or Tote Bag W-eekdays

    I thought that Constance and Juan did a great job! From the pattern work, the leather, and all the way through working with the great Juki machines, the two of them were fantastic teachers. I picked up a lot of intricate tips about making a beautiful piece, which was absolutely priceless.
