for day 2, we learned how to assemble bag lining and continued to work on the leather trimmings. we are quite used to working with fabrics. we found that working with leather is not as easy. nonetheless, cikgu hanim is happy with our progress.
we planned to have day 3 this sunday. hopefully cikgu hanim can make it.
we enjoyed cikgu hanim's class. it was conducted at the right pace. not too slow, not too fast. cikgu hanim kept saying that her methods are primitive. but i have to say, despite her primitive methods, her bags are so well made. and i honestly believe that her primitive methods prove that leather works are doable. we don't need expensive and sophisticated tools to create leather goodies. BUT we do need patience, lots of it.......and the saying "practice makes perfect" couldn't have been more right. and of course, having an industrial sewing machine does help. it speed things up. but if if you love to hand sew, go ahead....we find it therapeutic and calming to jumpy nerves:)
have a great day everyone.
cikgu hanim, na and salwa. see you this sunday.
cheers!
