Medium Camden Bag – One-Day Workshop (Sarah Blundell)

Time: 10:00am – 4:00pm
Skill Level: All levels welcome

Spend a lovely day sewing, learning and creating your very own Medium Camden Bag!

Join us at Lady Sew and Sew in Henley for a fun and practical one-day workshop where you’ll be guided through the construction of the Medium Camden Bag.

The Camden Bag is a fantastic project, combining machine and hand sewing and bag-making techniques. During the day, you’ll work through the key stages of the project with expert guidance, learn useful techniques, and pick up tips along the way.

Although you won’t have time to completely finish your bag in one day, you’ll leave with the knowledge to complete each element, ready to assemble and finish at home. So you can continue your project with confidence and enjoy the satisfaction of completing your beautiful Camden Bag yourself.

What you’ll learn

During the workshop, we’ll guide you through the different stages of making your Camden Bag, including preparing your fabrics and constructing the various components.

There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, get help with your sewing and learn techniques that you can use on lots of future bag and patchwork projects.

What you’ll need

You will need to bring or purchase on the day:

If choosing coordinating fabrics isn’t your favourite part of starting a project, we’ve made it easy for you!

Take a look at our curated Camden Bag Fabric Packs, specially selected to give you a beautiful combination of fabrics for your bag.

Whether you’re an experienced sewist or looking to develop your bag-making skills, this workshop is a great opportunity to spend a day sewing in the company of other enthusiasts, with help and advice on hand throughout the day.

Sewing Machine Reminder

To help you make the most of your workshop time, please ensure that you are familiar with your sewing machine and arrive with it threaded and ready to go. This will save valuable time at the start of the session and allow you to get stuck into sewing straight away!

If you’re not yet confident with your machine or need a refresher, why not book a one-to-one session with us before your workshop? We’ll help you feel comfortable and confident, so you can focus on learning and enjoying your class.
