Beginner Sewing Class: Tote Bag (3 hours)

In this class you will sew your very own simple tote bag. With pockets!

You will learn: How to cut out pattern pieces, make bag handles and sew a professional looking tote bag with pockets and lining. 

Prerequisites: This is a total beginner class. But if you have never touched a machine before I recommend doing the Coaster class first. 

Note: This is a longer class and can be run as two 1.5 hour classes. Contact me if you would prefer to do this as two classes. For kids, I recommend 2 x 1.5 classes for this project.

What to bring: One metre (or one yard) of medium weight woven cotton fabric (non stretchy). Some suitable medium weight fabrics would be cotton drill, cotton duck or any slightly thicker cotton fabric. Lining fabric can be provided, or bring one metre of lining fabric as well. (Note: Some fabrics will be available on the day but I suggest you bring your own so that you can make a bag you’ll love to use).

If you have a sewing machine that you would like to learn on, please bring it along. Otherwise you will be able to use one of my collection of vintage machines.

Your class will be held in person at my workshop studio, 84b Charles St, Seddon. 

Just book in for your preferred time. Currently I have a limit of two for beginner classes but if you have a larger group, call to discuss options.

So if you’re just starting out or or need a refresher after a long break, this class will cover everything you need to know to get you on your way.

If you have any questions or trouble booking, contact me on 0419155380.

Looking forward to sewing with you,
