Description
Join our in-house bag-making specialist tutor, Jo, for a series of four workshops designed to help you make beautiful, practical bags you’ll be proud to carry.
Jo’s passion for bag making shines through as she guides you step-by-step. She has handpicked four stunning patterns from popular designers Emmaline, Lavender & Twine, Shamballa Bags and Country Cow Designs – something to suit everyone’s style and skill level.
What You’ll Learn
Work at your own pace in a supportive, friendly atmosphere. You’ll gain confidence reading patterns, inserting zips and pockets, working with different fabrics, coordinating colours, adding hardware and more. Start a bag in one class and either continue in a later session or finish at home; it’s entirely up to you.
We will start in October with Emmaline Tote, but you’re free to choose any of the other designs in subsequent sessions.
