Leather Hand-Stitching Workshop with Fado Made

In this workshop, participants will learn 8 different leather stitches for assembly and decorative application from the experts at Fado Made! Fado Made is a custom-made luxury fashion accessory business located right here in Knoxville.

What you’ll learn: Attendees will practice each stitch on a pre-cut and pre-hole punched leather swatch (see photos below). Once you’ve mastered these techniques, we will walk you through the steps of creating your very own eyeglass case and squeeze-frame coin purse.

About Fado Made: “Hi! I’m Jamie, and I’d love to tell you a little about my company, Fado Made. To start, I’ll answer a question you may be asking, “Where does the name Fado come from?” Though you may know the word Fado from the genre of Portuguese music and dance, Fado for me is my middle name, and comes from my mom’s Italian side of the family. With a unique name, I have set out to offer a unique choice for fashion accessories.”
