Weekend Bag Making- The Range Backpack
April 4, 2020 @ 10:00 am - April 5, 2020 @ 2:30 pm
£89.00
The Friday bagineer workshops have been super popular, yet we realise not everyone has availability on a Friday.
So, we’re extra excited to bring you another scheduled weekend bagineer workshop. With two & half day tuition sessions, we think this will allow you time to enjoy your sewing project, take in new skills and learn lots, as sewing for a full day can be rather exhausting, guaranteeing you a gorgeous completed project to take home xx
This session we will be making the Range Back Pack from Noodlehead.
A useful and fun backpack to make! It’s not only great for any outing where you need to be hands free. The fold-over top and closure keep things secure, while the front zippered pocket keeps essentials within easy reach. Adjustable straps make it wearable in any season.
Special features:
- fold over top with closure
- front exterior zippered pocket
- adjustable straps
- interior slip pocket
- hang loop
Skill Level: Intermediate, or adventurous Advanced Beginner
Finished Dimensions: Approx 15” tall (closed), 10 ½” wide x 4” deep (at base)
