Join us for a fun and creative school holiday workshop!
In this beginner-friendly class, you will create your very own super handy cosmetic bag with frill detail and zip while picking up essential sewing skills.
Guided step-by-step by tutor Julie, students will learn how to measure, cut fabric, add soft interlining for structure, sew seams, create boxed corners, insert a zipper, attach a frill, press neatly, and finish their project to a professional standard. By the end of the session, you will take home a handmade lined cosmetic bag you can be proud of - perfect for makeup, toiletries, stationery, or as a gift.
It is the perfect school holiday project to get creative, try something new, and build confidence on the sewing machine.
