Well I'm home again and what a fantastic week I had at the ASG Convention in Adelaide.
In my previous post I did tell you about the Fractured Knit Cardi workshop I was going to be doing, however I didn't mention the
Luscious Leather Handbag 2 day workshop with Yvonne Twining.
My kit for this workshop was $48 for the small bag and that was for the leather and pigskin for the lining.
The class started with us choosing 3 or 4 types/colours of leather and Yvonne had so much gorgeous leather to choose from and what colour pigskin lining we wanted to use. This is my leather choice, safe but perfect for me to use every day.

By the end of the first day we had cut out the leather pieces, pigskin lining and had completed the sewing of the pigskin lining.

| 2 side zip pockets and an iPhone pocket |
At the end of the 2nd day, all 9 of the workshop attendees had a finished bag and here is mine:

Not sure how I'm going to fix that wayward stitch :(

I am thrilled with my new bag and it was an excellent learning experience for working with leather.
The Fractured Knit Cardi just needs a few more finishing touches.

That is a beautiful bag, Sharon!

Gorgeous. What a fun workshop.
Wow! Fantastic bag - how great to finish it at the workshop too.
Fabulous bag. Love the inside "lining."

Great work - sewing with leather is fun!!!
Absolutely gorgeous bag!

Oh fabulous and GREAT colours for you. Enjoy!
Love your bag. Gorgeous colours. And how great to have made it yourself. The quality looks great.
Fabulous bag Sharon. I'm sure your will use this loads. Nice to get it all made at the class - and no-one will notice your 'wayward stitch' if you don't point it out!
Wow! That is very impressive!
Great bag. Looking forward to a close up view at guild.
Very stylish ....so impressed! Now you need another visit to that leather place in Surry Hills :-)
What a beautiful bag. It looks very functional and the simple design really highlights the different leathers.
It looks very smart. I have been wanting to try sewing a leather handbag, so I am feeling slightly envious, just for a minute ;). It sounds like a terrific time at the convention.
Wow!! You attended some great ASG workshops. Great bag.
