Leatherworking: Hip Bag

  • 407 Houston Street Nashville, TN 37013 USA (map)

Learn how to sew a simple hip bag using leather salvaged from Southwest Airlines. No previous experience required.

Turnip Green Creative Reuse (TGCR), in partnership with Southwest Airlines for The Turnip S.E.A.T. project, a 12 month program that focuses on “sustainability, education, arts, and transformation.”

The Turnip S.E.A.T.’s primary focus is to repurpose 100,000+ pounds of Southwest Airlines seat covers to provide creative, empowering, environmental opportunities for community members affected by the pandemic. The impact of this project will integrate TGCR’s core areas of environmentalism, education, and the arts to transform everything from seat covers to the lives of students, artists, and community members we serve through workforce development, creative learning opportunities for underinvested youth, and community building and investment.
