A event on Saturday 19th February. The event starts at 10:30.
Tote bags are pretty great. Whether you're after something to carry your belongings or cart your grocery shopping in, these multi-purpose bags really do the trick. So why not make your very own? If you've been itching to learn some basic sewing skills using a domestic sewing machine there's no better way!
Maybe your machine is gathering dust at home and you need some help taking the first step? If so, this workshop is the perfect start to your sewing adventure.
In this three hour beginner's sewing workshop you’ll make a beautiful cotton tote bag complete with lining and pockets to take home after. You’ll have the choice of two different fabrics to make your tote bag with. It will be matched with a waterproof wax canvas, cotton lining and strong carry handles. Fancy!
You’ll be given all the materials ready-cut with detailed instructions on how to sew your tote bag. Lauren will guide you through the whole process, showing you how to thread and use the machine, and construct your bag. Lauren will provide plenty of tips and tricks on sewing techniques for you to use in future projects.
All other sewing accessories will be provided, so all you need to do is turn up!
