What's on

Make a Tote Bag with Drawstring Top @ Our Crafty Place

Event details

The Workshop

Your tutor, Melinda, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “Make your very own tote bag to take home.
Your finished project will be fully lined, with a drawstring fastening and an inside zip pocket.

You will learn how to line a bag using the pull through method, create a top panel with a drawstring channel to secure the bag, and make your own handles of a length to suit you.

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

What to bring?

Anticipation to enjoy the whole experience!

Specific to this workshop:

  • Your sewing machine please, if possible
  • Reading glasses if you need them.

What skills are needed?

This half day workshop is suitable for beginners plus those with limited sewing skills looking to build upon those. You will need to have a basic understanding of how to use a sewing machine.

What are the timings?

Our purple front door will be open from 1pm so we can welcome you in, you can get to meet Melinda and your fellow crafters and grab a cuppa before you start.
