I hope you enjoyed this course as much as I did. With the base of this course you can make any type of bag! Find a photo of a model that you like, try to know what the dimensions are and give it your personal stamp. What we learned is just a base, you don't have to copy what I teach. So get to work and start your own final project, dare to create your own bag! You will not be alone in the process, I will be with you to support you. Let's remember a little what we did! What do you want to create? I chose the type of bag I wanted to make, the shape, the size, the details, I made drawings taking into account if the proportions were with my main idea. In the end I decided on only one option. Sketch, test, allow yourself to be wrong, no one makes it perfect the first time!

Leather selection I chose the leather I wanted to work with for this project. I chose natural leather. Working on the leather I created my patterns and started making what were the first cuts, always being careful. Then I began to cut the leather and shape it, this with the help of a cotton ball and water. Also, I cured the leather to make sure its quality was bag-friendly. Get to work It was time to work, I cut, pierced, sewed and assembled the bag! Be careful with your hands, watch your fingers when cutting and hammering. Make the necessary seams so that it is perfect. The last details I attached the rivets to the base of the bag. Assemble and attach the handles. I tried to polish every detail of the bag. To finish and add my personal touch, I added a stamp to the bag. Do you have your bag ready? Show me your work! Do not be anxious if it is not perfect, during these seven years in which I worked on my AnnoniBags brand of bags, the main teaching that I received and life has given me is that trying and making mistakes, is the only way a person has to get new ones achievements. The one who does - gets, there is no mystery. I want you to send me many photos of your bags, that you try and try, I don't care if you make a mistake or if the bag is not perfect, we are all here to learn. Go for it! I am looking forward to seeing what you came up with! ”
