School Holidays: Learn to Sew a Tote Bag

Do you have a creative kiddo in your life who would love to learn to sew? These school holiday workshops are beginner friendly, creative and fun for primary and high school-aged kids.

DETAILS:

Thursday 2 October 2025, 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm.

These workshops are held in the inspiring main gallery at Timbermill Studios:

 2-6 Molloy Street Bulli.

The Timbermill Cafe will be open for purchases until 2:00 pm daily. Onsite and street parking available.

SKILL LEVEL:

• This workshop is beginner friendly. It would be advantageous if your child has used a sewing machine at least once before. However, if your child doesn't have machine experience but has a penchant for creativity and/or sewing, I would love to support them through learning the basics to complete their project.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• Fundamentals of safely using a sewing machine and other required tools.
• How to sew a straight seam.
• How to use a hot iron to finish your project.

WHAT IS PROVIDED:

• All materials required to make a tote bag.
• All materials required to make a scrappy bag charm.
• Sewing machines and all other supplies and tools required to complete your project.

Note re materials provided: a mixture of vintage, reclaimed and new items; a variety of prints and colours to choose from.

WHAT TO BRING:

• Water bottle and a snack.
• In the event that you have a specific fabric at home that you'd like to use, you'll need a piece at least 70 x 80 cm (this is not necessary, just an option).

WHAT YOU WILL LEAVE WITH:

• A tote bag with a bag charm.
• A smile on your face.

FORMALITIES:

If your child is required to take medication during the session times, you are required to attend to administer this. I do not take responsibility for administering any medications.

A basic first aid kit will be available at all sessions to treat minor injuries.
