When I travelled to France this Spring, fully laden with baby, pram and a rucksack, a bumbag saved the day, everyday! Always close to the body for safe keeping and easy reach, a bumbag has come to replace my handbag altogether.
But you dont have to travel far to see the benefit of this mighty little bag. On dog walks, beach trips, or just daily errands; this is the ultimate accessory!
And to top things up this is a fantastic stash-buster and a great showcase for your thrifted finds.
- Soon after learning to sew you will want to Master the Zipper! In this sewing class, you will develop your skills while creating a beautiful lined bumbag with two zippers.
- You will learn how to insert a zipper; this is a very transferable skill that you could reuse for bags, pouches, purses or even jackets!
- This sewing class is suitable for beginners up, however knowing how to use the basics of a sewing machine (such as what I teach in my Beginners Sewing Class) is recommended.
Payment plans are available on all sewing classes!
