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 workshop will be a hybrid virtual/ in-person format. You will cut out your fabric at home before class - but don't worry! All the pattern pieces are rectangles. You have the option to cut with us live on zoom, or watch the recorded session at your convenience. All of the sewing will take place at our shop-- no worries if you don't have a machine at home or if you can't make it to the live virtual session! Here's how the schedule will look:
Friday 11/15 7pm-8pm - This will be a virtual info session taking place on Zoom. Your instructor will discuss pattern details and demonstrate how to cut your fabric. Your homework will be to complete all of the fabric cutting/ prep before we meet in person. The Zoom will be recorded, so you'll be able to access the video if you can't attend live or if you need to reference it while you're cutting fabric!
Sunday 11/24 at 11am-6pm - This part will take place at our Greenpoint shop! During this time we will cover all of the bag construction. All fabric must be cut and ready to sew upon arrival.
In this hybrid virtual/ in-person workshop, you'll learn how to:
- Follow a commercial bag pattern
- Work with heavyweight fabrics
- Install a zipper
- Create interior and exterior pockets
- Install bag hardware including triangle rings, strap sliders, and swivel hooks
- Make a lined backpack from start to finish
- **Please note: we will not be covering how to use fleece or foam with lighter fabrics for this workshop. We will be making the waxed canvas version of this bag only**
Fabric and other supplies will be available for purchase in our retail shop & on our website at a 10% discount to students.
