The little bag you reach for without thinking — keys, phone, a card, done. This is the pattern to make that bag yourself, in a leather you've chosen, with no sewing machine anywhere in sight.

The mini bag is put together the stitchless way: the whole thing is woven together by hand, so there's no machine sewing and no fiddly hand stitching to wrestle with. If you've never made a bag before, this is the one to start with. It's the gentlest way in to working with leather, and you end up with a proper little cross body or satchel-style bag you'll actually wear — not a practice piece that quietly ends up in a drawer.

Where do I get the leather? What tools do I really need? Will I manage if I've never touched a piece of leather in my life? All of that is covered. Let me hold your hand through it.
