Create a stylish and practical handbag in this fun bag-making class! The Santorini Handbag is a great project for both beginner and experienced bag makers, offering plenty of opportunities to get creative with fabric choices and hardware.
This versatile bag features multiple pockets for your phone and everyday essentials, making it perfect for daily use. Students will learn techniques for constructing a structured handbag, working with stabilizers, installing a zipper, and assembling pockets and straps for a professional finish.
The finished bag measures approximately 15" wide at the top, 10" tall, and 4" deep, the perfect size for everyday use. A store sample will be available for inspiration. Once you finish your first Santorini Handbag, you may find yourself wanting to make another!
