During training at Cordwainers, London College of Fashion in 2010 I learnt how to design, make and manufacture bags professionally. Following a varied career in Accessories design and development across many roles and international brands I set up Hands of Tym in 2016. The courses I offer are suitable for all, from experienced to total novice. Come along to learn something new, and design and make your own leather bag in a day.

'Bag in a Day' Practical Hand Stitching Leather Course - The Satchel
"I recently had a one to one tuition day with Georgie and highly recommend the experience. Georgie was a great teacher providing the perfect balance between teaching me new concepts and guiding me, with allowing me freedom with my own ideas. Whatever your experience, Georgie tailors the day to help you achieve your personal goals. I will definitely be going back."
"This was a fantastic one day tote bag making course with Georgie, the excellent, patient, friendly and encouraging tutor.
We were able to choose which leather we wanted to use, the length of the straps and how to personalise our bag.
And there was a lovely lunch and tasty snacks throughout the day.
I love my new bag! It is a wonderful design of Georgie’s and looks very professional. My friends and family are well impressed, as am I!
Highly recommended!"
"Had such a great day with Georgie.
Really tailored the experience to me as a complete beginner, and not once did I feel out of my depth!
Thank you Georgie🤙🏽"
"I've lost count of the amount of bags I have made with Georgie but the day I spent with her last week has got to the best so far! I used the pattern that we had made for previous bags but this time in gorgeous suede. Georgie was so helpful, as always, and I am so so pleased with the end result. I am already trying to find time in my diary to book another day. Don't hesitate to book with Georgie - you won't be disappointed. "
