We are very excited to invite you to join Emma Redfern of Hole House for a TWO FULL DAYS of sewing to create a June Convertible Bag.

June is a practical bag that is perfect made in dry oilskin, canvas, tweed or a combination of fabrics.

It has a super secure recessed zip top, a large outer pocket, reinforced base and webbing straps that can be converted to make your bag either a shoulder bag, a cross body bag or a backpack!

The pattern will be available in two sizes.

Suitable for adventurous beginners / intermediate sewists:

You should be able to thread and use your sewing machine confidently, a zipper foot is useful if you have one. There isn’t any technically difficult sewing but there are some bulky seams to handle. 

All specialist materials will be provided, along with full written instructions and a paper pattern to take away with you.

You are required to bring along with you:

● Sewing machine (with regular and zipper foot), scissors, pins
and clips, thread, pen or pencil, ruler.

● Half a metre main outer fabric
● Fat quarter of contrasting outer fabric for base and zip facing
● 3m webbing 32mm or 38mm
● 1m lining fabric (depending on pockets chosen)

Please note there is a £25 material charge payable to the tutor on the day. This includes the following:

  1. 1.5m interfacing
  2. 1m Decovil interlining
  3. Up to 1m zip + 3 pulls
  4. Zipper end cap
  5. Strap hardware
  6. Printed pattern

Included in the cost of your workshop is lunch, tea and coffee throughout the day and afternoon cake.

    Artist

    I design and sew a range of bags and purses in an array of beautiful fabrics and I only use the best I can find. There is no enjoyment for me in mass producing, cutting corners or scrimping on the details … so I don’t.

    I take time to get the fabrics right for each piece, combining tweed with Liberty or vintage barkcloth with a modern cotton, and the attention is always on the detail, those little bits that maybe only you and I would notice. I am a fanatical pattern matcher and pocket obsessive.
