Beginner Sewing lesson: Tote Bag

Always wanted to start sewing, but don’t know how to start? Then this is a great deal for you! With this package it is possible to follow 2-3 hours in our Sewing Café and you get a kit with it with all materials to develop a simple, but nice, tote bag (organic cotton fabric & hemp straps). You can choose between different colours of organic cotton canvas fabric and hemp straps in your class. This package is a nice way to learn the basics on the sewing machine, while making your first piece.

This lesson takes place in our Sewing Café. You will share the lesson normally with other beginners that are also working on a tote bag or other beginner project. The lesson is guided by one of our fashion designers. See the schedule of the teachers here.
