Make a Belt

My courses are held at our lovely home in Carnforth, North Lancashire. We aim to start at 9:30 in the morning and finish by around 4pm.

You’ll learn how to use a strap cutter, thin the leather where it attaches to the buckle, bevel and burnish edges, create holes for stitching, make a keep (the little loop of leather that stops the end of your belt flapping around), point the belt end and finally stitch it all together with robust thread using the saddle stitch technique.

I’ll provide all the tools and materials required, as well as a homemade soup and freshly baked sourdough, topped up with cake and biscuits, washed down with plenty of tea and coffee!
