About the final project for: Professional Leather Handbag Design

Professional Leather Handbag Design

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of the course. Thank you so much for joining me on this creative journey, I've had a lot of fun creating this course and I hope the knowledge I've shared with you is the kickstart you needed to broaden your horizons as a leather craftsman. Before I say goodbye I would like to make a quick summary of what I would like to see in your final project. It all begins with an idea. Design your Minibag, think about the outlook and features. Then, choose the leather and hardware you will be using.

To start materializing your vision, you will make the explosive drawing and the assembled sequence, then, you can go and make the patterns.
Now, with your parts figured out, select the reinforcement material for the bag. Details are the features that can make a design stand out from the rest, so think it through, take inspiration from my design but be sure to apply your essence to your bag.
Once everything's ready it's time for the fun part! Prepare all the leather and material by cutting and gluing the parts. Once you are satisfied with your parts you can go now into the assembling process. Remember what I taught you on Unit four: punch, stitch, and edge-paint what is needed. Take time to work on your closure design since it is the most creative part. I can't wait to see what you've made!
And that's a wrap everybody! But worry not, I'll be for you on the forum! Also, I want to encourage you to join in the conversation with your peers, give them feedback on their work, and share your process. After all, we are a worldwide creative community, so stay involved! See you on the forum! ”

“Final Project It was an amazing journey of sharing with you through my course. First, I taught you how to use the 3D sculpture method to make a handbag. Then I showed you important techniques of pattern-making, saddle stitching and edge painting. Next, I showed you how to create an assemble sequence. I showed you different materials and how to cut and prepare them. Then, I taught you the fun part of how to create your own closure. Then, I showed you how to assemble it all together with the assemble sequence we set up. Finally, I taught you how to use the hot stamp machine to print your work...”
