Product Description
Reusable Fabric Gift Bag Workshop
Join Gabrielle and Natalie for a cosy afternoon workshop making reusable, fully lined fabric gift bags. You’ll learn quick, clever construction methods and go home with beautiful bags you can reuse year after year—drawstring or handled, flat or boxed bottom. Festive vibes, mince tarts, and lots of friendly guidance included.
What you’ll learn
- How to cut, line, and sew drawstring gift bags with neat channels
- How to make lined open-top bags with fabric handles (top-stitched for strength)
- Two base styles: flat construction and boxed bottoms that stand up nicely for either style of bag
- Measuring for different sizes, seam allowances, pressing for crisp edges
- Finishing touches: edge/top-stitching, tidy turning gaps, cord/ribbon threading
- Tips for fabric pairings, directional prints, and neat corners
What to bring
You can add a Christmas fat quarter bundle when you sign-up, or choose from our festive fabrics: Christmas 2025
- Purchase or bring from home: minimum ½ metre for the outer + ½ metre co-ordinating fabric for the lining (or 4-5 fat quarters)
- Optional: co-ordinating thread (white is provided)
What’s included in your workshop fee
- Printed step-by-step instructions to take home
- Selection of ribbon and cord for drawstrings and handles
- Use of sewing machines, cutting tools, rulers, pins/clips, and white thread
- Festive refreshments: mince tarts, biscuits, tea, and coffee
- Friendly, small-group tuition with Natalie & Gabrielle
