Leatherwork - Card Case & Belt Loop - Experience in our Blended Monkey Studios - April 2026
It was great to have the wonderfully talented Tony & Soraya back with us today to teach another fabulous leatherwork experience. This time, our students made card cases & belt loops.
We had a lovely, friendly group attend and we are massively impressed with what they achieved today!
The morning started with Tony introducing everyone to the tools laid out before them; the participants then got to choose their own leather colour combinations and were provided with templates to use in order to cut out the sections required for the card cases.
After lunch in our Blended Monkey kitchen, featuring some baked yummies from Fanoggins Bakery, the group went on to learn how to saddle stitch their work.
As usual, I took lots of photos throughout the day and some videos, so you can get a real flavour of the workshop.
If you missed the chance to book today (it sold out pretty quickly), our next leatherworking experiences are listed below:
