Sew A Drawstring Backpack is a children’s sewing workshop. Once they’ve made their backpack, there will be no need to carry a bag, they can just wear it and be hands free! These bags are a current craze, they’re not too big, super comfortable and carry all the essentials or extras. The Drawstring Backpack is ideal for carrying dance gear, gym gear, swimming gear or just the right size to carry snacks and a drink. In this Sew a drawstring backpack workshop kids will get started exploring the first steps to sewing and they will finish the session with a usable machined drawstring backpack.

WHAT PARENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT OUR SEWING WORKSHOPS:
Marina L. (January 2023)
My kids attended the Uxbridge Sew a Tote Bag Holiday Programme class – and they loved it! They came home very proud of their beautiful creations. Also, they instantly put their new sewing skills to good use by making back packs and tote bags for their soft toys. Hours of fun! Thanks so much, Gracie Matthews! I’m hoping to send the kids to more of your classes in future.
