In The Turenne Luxury Handbag Part 4 (of 5) you will be learning new techniques to use in your leathercraft such as: ✔️ Internal turned edge pockets for a clean look to your interior. ✔️ Edge binding for a pop of contrast and to protect your raw edges. ✔️ Pre-conditioning your lining for a tight crease free finish. ✔️ Critical reinforcements, what to use and how to position them for maximum heirloom durability. And much more..

In the grand finale of the Turenne luxury handbag, you will be discovering how to: ✔️ Install square gussets around a curved base. Defy the laws of physics! (or use your index finger). ✔️ Use a standard pricking iron for both the bag exterior and the gussets. A reverse pricking iron will not be needed (neither will the expense of buying one). ✔️ Install your gussets without having to align the holes at all. Just focus on gluing in your gusset and this one technique will take care of the rest. ✔️ Awl blade free gusset installation! Just two needles and thread for simple stitching. ✔️ A new technique to create uniform stitches in the gusset corners without needing a smaller sized pricking iron - no more ‘bunched up’ stitches for you! ✔️ Finish with a classic stabilised edge. Get a natural burnished look with more durability and flexibility, yet won’t peel or rub off with use. Also easier and quicker than edge paint! (no voodoo I promise). ✔️ Learn how to make a simple yet elegant leather zip puller. I’ll also show you how to make stitching a tiny part much more manageable (so fiddly otherwise..). ✔️ No cast, pulling straight out - yet gorgeous angles on BOTH sides of the stitch? Absolutely, and it seems obvious when you see why! (so many applications for this trick). And much more..
