During the workshop the tutor will guide you through how to make a patch pocket and internal utility pockets, how to insert an (optional) zip fastening as well as show you a range of other bag fasteners. Your bag will be fully lined giving the professional finish.
Please note that you will need to cut out your fabric pieces at home BEFORE attending the workshop.
This means you can focus on the construction of the bag in your workshop. You will need to collect your Pepin Tote Bag Pattern and dot and cross pattern paper from the store, or arrange to have it posted to you. Help and support can be offered by calling a member of the team on 0121 449 8419.

When Dee's parents realised that she adored all things sewing related, they gave her an electric sewing machine for her 9th birthday and her first sewing teacher was her dear mum who just happened to be a seamstress.
Dee has had a lengthy career in the clothing industry working as a sample machinist, sample cutter, pattern drafter and bridal alteration specialist before she decided to become a mature student and study for a BSc in Clothing Management and Technology at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Valuable teaching experience was gained as a visiting tutor for BA fashion students at Birmingham City University. In 2017 she also taught in Haiti as the lead tutor for an oversees aid work charity (LVE Haiti) where she successfully set up a sewing school.
Hobbies include sewing her own tailored clothes, knitting baby cardigans, travelling to tropical destinations, shopping and going to the gym.
Sorry there are no sessions planned in at the moment, but do get in touch and we’ll let you know about future dates.
