Skill Level Suggestion: Confident Beginner - You’re familiar with threading a machine or doing simple hand stitching. You can follow basic instructions and want to build on what you know

Description

Create a stylish and functional Violet Backpack that's perfect as a compact everyday bag for yourself or, with shorter straps, a charming backpack for a little one. You'll discover that installing zippers is much easier than you might expect while learning techniques you can use in future bag-making projects. Choose your favourite prints or fun, colourful fabrics to make a backpack that's uniquely yours.

The first evening will focus on pattern discussion, fabric preparation, and cutting. You'll then take your project home to complete the required quilting before returning for the second session.

When we meet again, bring your sewing machine and all of your prepared pieces. We'll assemble your backpack step by step, and you'll leave with a beautiful finished project that's ready to use or give as a gift.
