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

Pippa is a piped and gusseted satchel in two sizes. You can make the small, simple version that tucks neatly under your arm or worn cross body. The larger size has a flapped pocket on the front. Both sizes have an optional zipped pocket on the back wall of the outer bag, a zipped top and additional pockets inside. There is a detachable and adjustable webbing strap.

You will get patterns for both sizes at the workshop so you can make more at home.

You will need to bring:

Small size:
– Half metre of outer fabric – depending on the size you make
– An additional fat quarter of fabric to pipe with – this can be tweed
– Half a meter lining fabric
– 1.5m webbing (38-40mm wide)

Large size:
– 1m tweed – this will be enough to pipe with too or you might want to bring a contrasting fabric
– 1m lining fabric
– 1.5m webbing (38-40mm wide)

Also bring:
– Matching thread
– Sewing machine, scissors, pins, quilters clips, a zipper foot

We will provide:
– Written pattern

    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.
