In this two day workshop you will make a bag, the size will be your choice, lined and with inner pockets.

Please bring any embellishments which you would like to include for example, pom poms, printed images on fabric, bits of vintage embellishments.

Student requirements
Sewing machine, feed dogs down and embroidery foot (if you want to use this technique).

Zipper & buttonhole feet
Basic sewing kit
Pencil and paper
Selection of fabrics, the amount depends on the size of choice of bag/bags! (you may make more than 1)

Roughly 2½ times the size. I make from pieces lying around and stitch them together.

Fabric for lining

Wadding/batting

Selection of threads

We will make the handles from fabric but if you want to add a leather strap, Merchant and Mills sell hardware kits, includes leather strap, d rings and rivets and there are websites that sell ready made leather handles.

Fabrics, they don't need to be too heavyweight but fairly substantial and you can use fabrics from Cowslip and interlining or wadding if your bag is quilted to make it stronger, or fabrics from your own stash.

Make sure your electrical equipment (sewing machine) has been recently PAT tested.
