    It was such a productive class! The instructor at Brooklyn Shoe Space, Lorna was very helpful in coming up with a design I would like to make, and she was there every step of the way to walk me through the process. Class was hands on with cutting out material, sewing, applying hardware and the order of how things should be put together. I totally lucked out and got a one-on-one with the instructor since the other student dropped the class! After 2 nights, I had a fantastic leather backpack, and would totally make more on my own!

    I have to say that I am not satisfied with the class I took from Alex. Equal assistance to participants need to be distributed as we all pay the same amount. It is great to help one person but not in the expense of other participants. Half of the class time was spent waiting around or looking for materials. All the materials should be ready before the class time starts. Too expensive for what I learned....There are so many more classes that thought me much more.
