Would you like to start leather crafting?

Let's make practical and stylish items while learning the basic techniques of leather crafting!

An ability that naturally increases as you make it!

First, I'll make a key ring that anyone can easily make. Since there is no sewing process, it is an item that is easy to make, yet gives you a full sense of accomplishment.

After making a key ring, I'm going to try a pen case that can be used for a variety of purposes. It may seem a bit difficult because the sewing process begins, but I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner!

Then we will make a pouch. Along with the process of attaching a zipper, you will also learn applied techniques of leather crafts while learning the tricks of sewing the back side together.The difficulty level will increase, but if you've learned this far, you should have learned enough about leather crafting!

Finally, it's time for the tote bag!

It looks big and difficult, but don't worry, I'll explain it carefully. You'll have a nice leather bag and accessories ready by the end of class!

You will learn the fun of making and the advantages of leather

All 4 completed items were born from your own hands.

Please feel the fun of being able to create some value. Also, one of the pleasures is looking for parts that are different from the techniques learned in this class while observing other leather products.

And the other is the goodness of leather. The leather used this time is “tanned leather”. It is made using a technique called vegetable tannin tanning, and you can feel “aging.” There are various changes depending on the person who uses it, and the taste of each person who has it comes out.

Let's make a one-of-a-kind item in the world!

Plus, improve your technical skills with a bonus chapter!

In the bonus chapter, we have prepared content that will further improve your technical skills and improve your work skills.

Also, what should I do when I want to maintain leather or make it with my favorite leather? I will tell you the recommended suppliers for those who say that.


Be sure to keep making your own original items even after taking this class!

Nice to meet you, all the students. My name is Miyawaki, a leather craftsman.

Currently, I publish and sell my work on Instagram and BASE.


I came across leather crafts while I was in college. The trigger was when I went to buy a pass case. I have always had a personality that “wants to have something interesting that is different from others,” and I was looking for such items that day as well. However, when I had given up because I couldn't find anything quite good, I happened to stop by the leather craft corner.

I've always liked making things, and I thought, “OK! If you don't have one, just make one!” I thought, and that's where my leathercraft life began.


What I felt the most through leather crafting was “creating something is so much fun!” That's it. The fun of output that embodies what you think in your own head. I want everyone to feel that in this class as well.

Let's enjoy leather crafting!
