Course Description

Overview

Description Crafting a well-made handbag takes practice, finesse, and maybe a few handy tricks. Join designer and founder of U-handbag.com, Lisa Lam, to learn how you can add beauty and durability to all of your purse projects. This one’s in the bag. Throughout this course, Lisa will teach you about the pros and cons of different interfacings, interlinings and linings, and show you two handy methods for sewing lining into your bag. Then, you’ll conquer skills for zipper installation—from choosing the right zipper to creating attractive end-tabs—and find out how to create two functional, polished pocket styles. Wondering how to create chic-yet-sturdy handles? Lisa will demonstrate how to sew custom handles and explain how using closures can create a classier bag. Plus, you’ll learn how to add fabulous rivets and eyelets that add visual intrigue to any handbag!
