Bag Making: Sling Bag // 1 Day // May 17
Tired of tote bags sliding off your shoulder while you juggle coffee, keys, kids, and life? Still searching for the perfect hands-free bag for travel days and sightseeing adventures? Or maybe you need a handmade gift that feels extra special?
This workshop has you covered.
Sling bags are the ultimate modern essential — equal parts stylish and practical, with that cool oversized crossbody/fanny-pack energy we’re seeing everywhere right now. You’ll create a fully lined, structured bag that looks store-bought (but better) and fits your everyday essentials with ease.
Best of all, you get to choose your pattern:
