Textiles Summer Workshop - Create your own Tote Bag
8th July 2025
10am until 1pm
Suitable for: Parent and Child (aged 12 - 16 years)
Cost: £26. One ticket covers both parent and child.
Get creative together in this fun, beginner-friendly workshop where parent and child will team up to design and sew a unique patchwork tote bag using donated fabric scraps. Guided by our expert tutors, you'll learn essential sewing skills—from threading and using a sewing machine to sewing precise seam allowances, pressing fabric, and adding neat, professional-looking topstitching. Along the way, we’ll also explore the value of sustainability in fashion, discovering how upcycling materials can help reduce waste. By the end of the session, you’ll head home with a beautiful handmade tote bag—and a shared sense of achievement and confidence in your sewing skills.
Please note: This workshop takes place in our Atelier, which is on the top floor of Dumfries House, and is accessed via 89 steps. We do not have an elevator.
