Make a Pencil Case @ Our Crafty Place

Event details

The Workshop

Your tutor, Melinda, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “Make your very own pencil case to take home! Your finished project will be fully lined with box corners and a zip top fastening.

Do you avoid sewing with zips seeing them as too much of a challenge? On this workshop will learn step by step how to do this giving you the confidence to tackle a wider selection of projects!

This evening workshop is suitable for those just beginning on their sewing journey, and also those wanting to enhance their existing skills.

You can either bring your machine or use one of our machines (first come first served)”
