This intermediate structured bag is so much "practicality meets pretty"! You'll reinforce your knowledge about batting, interfacing, strap hardware, and closures, where they all go and why - all of which will be used in future bags that you make. The adjustable strap is perfect to make it a cross-body bag so both hands are free, and the one-hand latch makes it easy to open. There are many steps, so you'll want to be sure that you are prepped as far as you can be before coming to class.
