The bags will be created using finishing techniques common in medieval times for finishing slits on clothing, so a contrasting facing is needed (it will be visible from the outside), lining for the bag, and a different insert, or it could be the same as the facing. Embroidery silks will be used as decorative stitching, and a small amount of embroidery. The medieval technique of creating cords and eyelets will also be taught to further embellish the bag. There will be a demonstration of differnt ways of making cords.
