Learn to sew a stylish Buckthorn Backpack!
You’ll love this zippered top backpack for everyday use. It features a front pocket for easy access to smaller items, a divided interior pocket to keep everything inside organized, and a flat base. The backpack has adjustable straps and fits tablets, small laptops, and/or notebooks!
This is a two-part, weekend intensive workshop taking place on the following dates:
Saturday, August 26th at 3:30pm-6:30pm
Sunday, August 27th at 11am-6pm
In this weekend workshop, you'll learn how to:
- Follow a commercial bag pattern
- Work with heavyweight fabrics
- Install a zipper
- Create interior and exterior pockets
