Crescent Tote – One Day Bag Sewing Class
£119.00
Description
We’ve had so many requests to teach this brilliant bag pattern as a stand alone class outside of our 5 week Sewing Improvers class, that we’ve listened and added this one day class to the timetable!
This petite tote is perfect for stashing your essentials. The small shape fits snugly under your arm and the curved lines really play up its feminine design. The zippered front pocket holds those little items you want to keep secure and easy to access—while adding a fun detail—and its flat bottom makes it easy to set on a table. You’ll love keeping this tote by your side!
If you’re already comfortable with using a sewing machine but want to up your sewing game learning how to make a fully-lined, tote bag with internal and external pockets then this is the class for you.
You will learn
- Cutting accurately using a rotary cutter (or scissors if you prefer!)
- Using fusible fleece & fusible interfacing
- Accurate top stitching
- Lining a bag
- Inserting zips and zipped pockets
- Creating handles from webbing
Our sewing classes are relaxed and friendly, taking place at our beautiful studio at Holme Grange Craft Village in Wokingham, Berkshire. Students get to use our brand new digital Janome sewing machines and this class is capped at 8 to ensure everyone gets the time and attention they need.
