Event – Monthly Bag Makers Club 
 
Date – Third Friday, each month. There will be 10 sessions throughout the year. There will be one month off in the summer and another TBC. 
 
Time – 19.30 - 21.30 - please arrive after 19.15 for a 19.30 start
 
Cost - £200 including printed (A0) patterns and instructions. 
 
Location - 13 Blundells Road, Tilehurst, Berkshire, RG30 4TR- please follow signs upon arrival and make your way to the rear of the house and sewing workshop. 
 
We usually have a WhatsApp chat for monthly clubs, if you'd like to be in one, please let me know and provide me with your phone number (if I don't already have it) 
 
Should you wish to make use of my fabric, it is charged at £15pm. Full payment is required to secure your place. 
 
These events will follow the following pattern: 
Months one, three, five, seven, nine – sew along
Months two, four, six, eight, ten – ‘book club’ style review, chats and discussions
 
We will cover five bag patterns, these will come from a mix of designers, and will use a range of skills. Please be mindful about the thickness of your fabric choices and the capabilities of your machine. 
 
The project for month one/two will be a bag. Those who have paid before then, will be sent a copy of the pattern and instructions (printed) in the first week of December. Everyone will be sent the pattern details on 1st December to allow you to source fabric or download your own copy of the pattern if purchasing them yourselves.
 
I strongly recommend washing and drying your fabric as you would your finished garment so you can sew, in confidence, knowing that they won’t shrink in the wash! (This isn’t really necessary for bags!)
 
Whilst these will be educational evenings, it is intended to be a lot of fun and a great excuse to have a natter with good friends or make some new ones. If you have any questions, before or after the event, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
