This workshop is a great chance to combat the problem of wrapping paper being non recyclable whilst also getting you in the festive spirit!

You will be guided through the process of making 4 gift bags from lovely festive cotton, each bag will be a different size - from wine bottle shaped to bags suitable for a book, a pen and a soap.

After this you will have time to make additional gift bags of your choice. If you are fairly confident on a sewing machine you could make around 10 bags and can take fabric home if you don’t finish them all. TOTAL BEGINNERS - you are welcome to arrive 15 mins early to have a quick run through the machine so you feel confident to get started on your bags which only require straight line sewing ;-) You are welcome to bring your own machine if you are looking for practice in using it.

Unless otherwise stated, all workshops take place in our Cardiff craft workshop studio at Cardiff MADE in Roath.
