I have seen glue used as an alternative to stitching but don’t recommend it especially for the main components of the bag where glue would make the bag fragile.  You want your stuff secure right?

Decorations could be glued but that is totally up to you. I go through this in more detail in the course.

The course covers a bunch of tips and ideas on how to get a sewing machine for free or for just $10-$30 dollars. 

I detail all the places to check where you amy be able to pick one up.

I also show you all the key things to look out for with second-hand machines to ensure you don’t buy a dud or one that isn't up to the job.

To ease any purchase decision I have found machines to fit all budgets. 

Every machine will be more than capable of creating the bag and many more projects you want to have a go at. 

Absolutely! To help beginners I have a full module on how to setup and use a sewing machine. 

In reality, you will only need to learn a couple of stitch types for the bag and most of the stitching will be in a straight line.  It really is super easy once you get the hang of it.

The couple of hours spent learning the skills to use a sewing machine will pay you back over and over - even with this one project.

There is a reason people say ‘they don’t make things like they used to’.  Old machines were built to last and are very capable machines. 

With the very basic stitching required for the bag it should be no issue at all for a lot of old machines you manage to lay your hands on. I will explain what you need to check and be aware of when it comes to suitable machines.

Practice makes perfect and with my training and techniques your skill and confidence should increase dramatically as a result.  

A lot of the stitching is also hidden as it’s on the inside of the bag so if your first few attempts don’t quite look perfect it won't matter - and I won't tell anyone if you don’t :)

The rest of the equipment required is very basic.  There is a good chance you already have most of what you need at home right now.

Anything you are missing can be sourced online very cheaply.  For example - a denim needle for the sewing would be a good idea and this is covered in the course.

A complete list of everything you will need along with alternative options to match all budgets where possible is included with the course.

The majority of the bag can be created from a single pair of jeans but a few materials are required such as thread and interfacing (which is an easy to source material that adds stability and strength to the bag). 

You will also want a material for lining the bag and perhaps a custom strap if you don't want to create one from the offcuts. An old shirt or towel would be fine. This is your time to get creative!

With my guidance this shouldn’t happen.   I also provide lessons for how to practice before you do any stitching on the actual bag.

In the absolute worst case scenario and you get a stitch wrong, I have also created training to show you how to reverse any mistakes so nobody will ever know.

With the course you will receive:

• Equipment list

  • Material list with alternatives you could use to match your budget

• Clear guide showing every measurement, cut and stitch 

• Simple print-off handy guide with areas for notes for your own modifications

We have put a huge amount of effort into making our instructions as clear as possible with no technical jargon that could leave you confused.

The beauty of my course is you will take the measurement from s fixed point on your jeans to decide the other measurements and all this is very straight forward. This means you can work for any pair of jeans to make a bag.

Both! This training is for customers all over the world and I understand some use metric and some use imperial measurements so all conversions have been done allowing you to use whatever is most familiar to you.

You purchase the course ONCE and get LIFETIME ACCESS to watch the videos as many times as you want.
