Why I Created this Workshop?
I designed this workshop because I wanted it to be more than just sewing a plain tote bag.
This is your chance to get bold with colour, mix and match in ways you might not usually try, and surprise yourself with what you can create!
With some guidance, you’ll see just how fun and doable it is, and you will walk away with a colourblocked tote that’s completely unique and something to be really proud of!
Why Should You Join?
This workshop is about so much more than just sewing a bag!
You will learn simple but effective sewing techniques, get hands-on guidance in a relaxed and friendly space, and discover the confidence to play with colour and design.
Every tote turns out completely unique, so you will leave with something that’s truly your own, not to mention the skills and inspiration to tackle more creative projects in the future. Plus, it’s just plain fun! You will surprise yourself with what you can make!
My Promise to You
If you don’t leave feeling more capable, inspired, and confident, I offer a full refund - no questions asked.
