Beginner’s class – Sew a simple tote bag

1st May 2019 By Lorna

Beginner's class - Sew a simple tote bag

Date/Time
Date - 01/05/2019
10:30 am - 1:30 pm

Location
The Farthing Workshop, Kenilworth


Duration – 3 hours

Come along and get to grips with sewing machine basics. Learn how to thread the machine, wind the bobbin, sew basic machine stitches (straight stitch, back stitch, zig zag), sew French seams and simple trouble shooting tips. Put these skills into practice by making a simple tote bag. No need to bring anything – just come along and have a go.

This simple tote bag is perfect for light shopping, folders or newspapers and for folding up into your handbag for those spontaneous trips to the shops. You could also choose to make a smaller bag for a little person in your life – just the right size for carrying their favourite toy or random bits and bobs that they tend to collect! They would make gorgeous gifts too! Customise for male/female/young/old by just choosing the right fabric.

Equipment and Materials:

Janome sewing machines and basic sewing tools provided to use
Fabric included
Tea/Coffee included

Handout with step by step instructions to repeat the project at home

Cost £30

Lorna says:

“A tote bag is the perfect project for either a complete beginner sewist or someone looking to refresh their skills. Learn the basic stitches,  straight lines and turning corners – core skills for progressing onto more challenging projects. Gain confidence using a sewing machine – that’s what it’s all about. These are perfect for keeping folded up in your handbag or in the boot of your car for saving the pennies when you shop. They also make a gorgeous gift for birthdays or even just for yourself!!”

 

The Venue:

The Farthing Workshop, 13 High Street, Kenilworth, CV8 1LY

The Farthing workshop is a stone’s throw from The Farthing Gallery in Kenilworth. Parking is available nearby at the Abbeyfields car park. You can then walk through the church grounds and the Farthing Workshop is behind the shops on High St. You go behind the shops, down a path and you will see 2 conservatory buildings ahead of you. The Farthing workshop is down a few steps to the left hand conservatory building.

**As the access is via some steps this venue would not be suitable for those who cannot manage steps – please get in touch if you have any questions about this**
