Transform a durable jute tote into a personalized piece using vibrant yarns, wool felting, and creative hand-stitching techniques.
About this Event

A tactile journey in hand-stitching, felting, and personal style.

The classic jute tote is more than just an eco-friendly accessory—it’s a blank canvas waiting for a story. Our workshop invites you to slow down and explore the world of textile art, where you can blend traditional handcrafts with modern design.

Whether you are inspired by the 3D texture of wool or the clean lines of felt appliqué, you’ll have the freedom to experiment and create a piece that is unmistakably yours.



A Wealth of Materials

We provide everything you need to bring your vision to life. You’ll have full access to our curated collection of:

  • The Foundation: High-quality, durable jute bags in various sizes, ready for your creative touch.(Small: 23 × 11 × 16 cm , Medium: 25 × 18 × 25 cm , Large: 32 × 13 × 21 cm )
  • Textured Yarns: A wide spectrum of colors and weights to add movement and depth.
  • Premium Wool Roving: Soft, high-quality wool perfect for creating 3D, sculptural details.
  • Non-Woven Felts: For layering bold shapes and crisp, graphic patterns.
  • Artisanal Accents: A handpicked selection of beads, charms, and decorative hardware to add that final, personal flourish.

Techniques You’ll Explore

You don’t need to choose just one—we encourage mixing techniques to create a truly unique aesthetic:

  • Punch Needle Embroidery: Create those signature "puffy" textures and soft loops that make a design pop.
  • Needle Felting: A meditative process of sculpting wool directly into the bag to create intricate, three-dimensional motifs.
  • Hand-Stitched Appliqué: Learn how to layer and secure different fabrics to build a composition with clean edges and bright colors.

The Experience
  • Beginner-Friendly: No prior experience is required. We guide you through the basics of each technique so you can focus on the joy of creating.
  • Mindful Making: Spend a focused afternoon away from screens, working with your hands in a welcoming, communal environment.
  • A Statement Piece: You’ll leave with a durable, high-quality jute bag—functional enough for daily use and artistic enough to be a conversation starter.
