Sew your own Slouchy Shoulder Bag!
Event Information
About this Event
Join expert pattern maker and sewing tutor Alison Wesley for a wonderful workshop where you will be guided over 4 hours to make an original 'slouchy bag' that you can use all year round.
This is a great workshop for beginners and those keen to build their confidence in sewing and to achieve a professional finish. You will leave the workshop with a fab bag that you can use again and again.
So that everyone can choose a lovely fabric that suits their taste, we ask you to bring your own fabric and thread to the class.
The best fabric to use is a non stretch medium weight woven fabric. An old patterned curtain can be ideal for this - and think about a contrasting fabric for your shoulder strap, such as denim. Please see below for the fabric measurements*. You will use our sewing machines and equipment to make your bag.
An excellent class for anyone wanting to learn and gain confidence with machine sewing - the beginning of an exciting journey into sewing construction with lots of techniques that you can use for all sorts of future projects.
Cost: £40 - includes equipment use.
Skill Level: Suitable for beginners as well as more skilled sewing enthusiasts looking for a new project.
