Learn how to make a gorgeous bespoke Roll Top Rucksack, complete with internal pocket, clip for your keys, outer zipped pocket, adjustable straps and side pockets.
You can make this rucksack specific for your use - line it with waterproof fabric to store your swim kit, make the outer with waterproof canvas for those hiking trips around rainy Cornwall, or make it with plush fabrics just because you want too!
The workshop will be held over 2 days, or 3 evenings, depending which group you’d like to attend.
Dates are:
1 weekend: 28th & 29th March 10am til 4pm
2 week days: Friday 20th & 27th March 10am til 4pm
3 evenings: Wednesday 18th& 25th March, 1st April 6 til 9pm
Spaces are limited to 4 spaces per workshop to ensure a good teacher:student ratio, and are suitable for any level of sewer as I will take you through every stage and step of the way.
The cost of the workshop is £90, and we will provide your pattern, wadding, fusing (interface), and a light lunch/supper of vegan soup and yummy locally baked bread. The kettle will also be on and you know there’s always biscuits. For those of you without sewing machines & sewing kit, we have supplies here you are welcome to use.
You will need to supply all the hardwear, fabric & thread. You are very welcome to rummage through our stash of fabric (at no extra cost) but we can’t always cater for everyone’s taste. A comprehensive list of requirements will be supplied on booking. Please also bring your sewing machine & sewing kit, as its much easier to work with equipment you know.
You can book your space by emailing [email protected] and you will be given our BACS details. On receipt of your BACS payment, you will be given the full list of requirements for the course, along with suggested suppliers for hardwear and fabrics. Bookings will only be confirmed on receipt of payment.

I’m really looking forward to sharing this workshop with you – it’s taken me a fair few weeks to get it just right, and you should leave with a fabulous bag, a pattern, and the confidence to make more!
Thank youuuu
