We have seen glue used as an alternative to stitching but we 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?

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

We detail all the places to check where you ay be able to pick one up.

We 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 we 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 we 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 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 any old machine you manage to lay your hands on.

Practice makes perfect and with our 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 we 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 - if you are using very thick denim we may suggest some special needles and this is covered in the course.

A complete list of everything possible you will need along with alternative options where available to match all budgets 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, 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.

Thread and interfacing is very cheap and you can get creative with the lining. 

Ideas for lining and strap creation are also provided in the course.   

With our guidance this shouldn’t happen.   We 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, we have also created training to show you have to reverse your mistakes so nobody will ever know but you unless you tell them

To ensure everyone doesn’t spend longer working out the design and measurements than actually making the bag we have included:

• Full equipment list

  • Complete 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.

Both! We have customers all over the world and 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.
