Make a Forager Bag with Hole House

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

 

This is a practical, out-doorsy bag designed to be worn cross body or on the shoulder. It can be made with a combination of oilskin and tweed, or canvas, and has lots of options for pockets.

 

You will learn how to make your own adjustable strap and get lots of tips on how to sew oilskin successfully.

 

The course fee also includes access to the special Facebook Stitch-a-long group which contains a bonus ‘backpack’ extension pattern and all the dimensions needed to make the Forager in any of the 3 sizes. You can also find video tutorials in the Group if you want to remind yourself of any of the steps at a later date.

 

You will need half a meter of oilskin (dry oilskin from Merchant & Mills is good to sew if you’ve not used oilskin before) half a meter of tweed and 1 meter of a lining fabric. All other materials are provided.

 

Please note there is a £26.50 material charge payable to the tutor on the day.

 

Included in the cost of your workshop is lunch from the extremely popular Jans Sandwich shop in Keswick.
