Origami Bag workshop with Kaleidoscope by Amy Lou

At this sewing workshop, using a computerised sewing machine, you will have the opportunity to make your own block geometric print origami bag with complimentary lining and sturdy handle.

This stylish origami style bag is a similar size to a tote bag and will be big enough to hold everyday essentials such as a purse, mobile phone, water bottle and make-up bag.

See the pic to take a look at what you’ll be making!

The event will be hosted by Amy Trainor, designer and maker of Kaleidoscope, a sustainable bag and fashion accessory brand. Amy works with high-quality, bold, bright fabric to create bags and accessories that stand out from the crowd.

All materials and equipment will be provided on the day.

You will learn how to do the following:

• Thread a sewing machine/wind a bobbin

• Cut out an origami bag pattern

• Sew pattern pieces accurately and top stitch using a computerised sewing machine
