Please Note: This is a Level 2 workshop. By booking this workshop you are agreeing that your sewing skills and experience match the criteria below. This is to avoid personal frustration and to ensure that everyone has a chance to go home with a finished bag.
Level 2
Suitable for those who can confidently use a sewing machine, but have little or no experience of bagmaking
You need to be able to do the following –
- Confidently use a sewing machine to sew straight lines
- Follow written instructions to cut out pattern pieces accurately and add interfacing in own time (Initial guidance can be given in the shop)
- Sew accurate seam allowances
- Topstitch with a given seam allowance
- Follow instructions given by workshop tutor
- Work at a consistent pace to complete tasks
- Use a zipper foot once given initial guidance and instruction
- Use a ruler to measure accurately under guidance
- Cope with a busy day of sewing
Some preparation will be required before the class ie: cutting out your pieces and fusing interfacing – advice can be given for this in the shop.
During this one day workshop you will make a cute and very useful Densa Dopp Kit Pouch from Country Cow Designs patterns. Perfect for toiletries, make-up, sewing accessories – the list is endless! Choose from Large or Small size (The Large size is easier to make for those less experienced in bagmaking).
Fabric requirements will be enough to make both sizes of pouch, one to make during the workshop and one to make at home afterwards.
Special features:
- Two sizes to choose from – Large or Small
- Zipped Closure
- Grab Tab
- Carry Handle
Pouches will need to be made using quilting weight cotton, as anything heavier will be too thick for the sewing school machines to handle.
Both sizes are available to view in the shop
Dimensions
Approximate finished dimensions:
Small size – 16.5cm Width x 9cm Height x 10cm Depth (6.5″ Width x 3.5″ Height x 4″ Depth)
Large size – 24cm Width x 13cm Height x 15cm Depth (9.5″ Width x 5″ Height x 6″ Depth)
This will be a busy day of sewing so please be prepared to be tired but happy at the end of it!

Sewing machines are provided in the sewing school but you will need to bring your own equipment with you.
