Sew Crafty

Print & sew a shopping bag 
During this workshop you will learn to paint & print patterns on fabric, creating your own design which will then be made up into a useful tote bag.
You will have a chance to play with paint & simple printing techniques.  I will provide a plain piece of cotton fabric for you to paint.  We will then sew up the fabric into a useful shopping bag.
No experience is needed just lots of enthusiasm, this is a relaxed, enjoyable and creative workshop for all.  Inspiration will be on hand for you, or if you have an idea of what you would like to do bring it along with you. ​
Refreshments will be provided but if coming for a full day workshop please bring a packed lunch.
