Focus: Bag Making Workshop

We are regularly being asked about the various classes and workshops that we hold at the Owl and Sewing Cat so 'Focus' is a new series looking at each class in turn. All images are of items that can be made in this class.

What is the name of the class?
Bag Making Workshop

Who is it for?
Anyone that would like to have a go at making a bag and learning some tips and techniques at the same time. Some experience of using a sewing machine is required. If you wanted to do this course but needed to pick up the basics (or have a refresher) then coming along to one of our Open Sewing Sessions first might be useful.

When does it take place?
Our next class is on Friday 27th from 10am - 4pm. The class is run by the owner of the shop, Tracey.

What can you make?

One of our lovely bags! We have lots of different patterns and designs to choose from. From a new handbag to a useful beach bag we have something to suit everybody. I have included a few pictures here but there are many possibilities. We will talk you through the entire process from cutting fabric right through to finishing your bag. Tracey will also talk you through how to adjust the size and shape of a bag so that you can make your own patterns in the future. Make one for yourself or as a present for someone.

How much does it cost?

It is £38 plus fabric costs.

How do I come along? 
Look at the class page for dates and then just give us a call on the number on our website to book your session. If possible we ask that you choose your project and fabric before you come.

Next month we will be looking at our Elements patchwork & quilting course.
