DRAWSTRING BAG WORKSHOP
A beautiful bag that doubles as gift wrapping — and can be used again and again.
Come and learn how to make your own lined drawstring bag from fabric. Simple to sew and endlessly useful, these bags are perfect for wrapping gifts, storing treasures, organising your home or taking your essentials with you.
You’ll learn the basic techniques needed to cut, sew and construct the bag, including creating the casing and threading the drawstring. It’s a great first sewing project and a chance to play with colour, stripes and fabric combinations.
WHAT YOU’LL MAKE
You’ll make a beautiful drawstring bag to take home.
Use it as reusable gift wrap instead of disposable wrapping paper, then give the bag a second life as storage, a travel bag or a little everyday pouch. Make one for yourself, or make a collection for gifts throughout the year.
YOU’LL LEARN
- Basic sewing machine skills
- Cutting and preparing fabric
- Sewing straight seams
- Creating a drawstring casing
- Constructing and finishing the bag
- Adding and threading the drawstring
LEVEL: Beginner-friendly
DURATION : 2.5 hours
FABRIC & MATERIALS
Fabric for one drawstring bag is provided.
If you would like to make additional bags during the workshop, please bring your own fabric. Bring your favourite colours, prints or stripes and create bags that feel completely your own.
No sewing experience is needed — just come ready to learn and make something you’ll actually use.
