Design and Knitting of Bags with Silk Cord

To start off the course, Beatriz González tells you a little bit about herself and what first sparked her passion for sustainable fashion. She also talks about her career, her studies, her most defining projects, and how she's managed her artisanal brand over the last decade.

See the importance of the functionality of your designs by analyzing different bags and how each is made to fulfill its purpose. Explore color psychology to help you put together coherent and aesthetically balanced designs. Learn all about silk cord, from its defining features to the technique for using it in two-needle knitting.

Beatriz then teaches you how to make a bag from scratch using silk cord. Begin by creating the outer structure and explore how to change color half way through, all with the help of your teacher. Then move on to the strap, and see how to attach it to the main body before adding the final details. Lastly, add the lining for a clean and professional finish.

Wrap things up by reflecting on the packaging and the power of sharing your designs on social media. Beatriz shows you how to further customize your final project, as well as how to take simple yet effective photos like the ones she takes at Olvido Madrid.
