May 3 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

$89.00 – $95.00

ONE-DAY WORKSHOP – May 3, 2025 | 9 am – 4 pm

Looking for a stylish, hands-free way to carry your essentials during the market season? In this workshop, you’ll sew a crossbody bag with 4 zipper compartments – perfect for keeping your phone, keys, cards, and more organized and hands-free while you shop.

In the workshop, you’ll be able to choose from several material colours with lots of opportunities to mix and match to personalize your bag to your style. You will also get lots of practice installing zippers and zipper pulls and will walk away with a stylish, functional accessory you can be proud of!

This workshop is designed for intermediate-level sewists who are comfortable with basic sewing techniques, threading a machine, and following patterns. It is not a beginner or learn-to-sew class.

THE INSTRUCTOR:

Diana has been sewing since a very young age, primarily clothing. In recent years, she has shifted her focus to working primarily with faux leathers, making purses and handbags. She has found the experience to be unique and still finds herself excited when completing a new project! Visit www.shoppunctuate.ca to see her work.
