Learn to Sew: Beginners Tote Bag Workshop

Make something beautiful from scratch — no experience needed

Have you always wanted to learn to sew but never quite known where to start? This is the session for you.

In just one morning, you'll go from never using a sewing machine to walking away with a gorgeous handmade tote bag — and the confidence to keep going.

This is a small, friendly workshop with hands-on guidance. Whether the idea of threading a machine feels completely baffling right now, or you've had one sitting in a box for years and never dared to use it — we'll take you through everything step by step, at your own pace.

What you'll learn:

• How to thread a sewing machine with confidence
• How to sew straight lines and neat corners
• How to use reverse stitching to secure your seams

Everything is provided. All equipment, fabric and threads are included in the price. Just bring yourself and an enthusiasm to try something new.
