Sew Resourceful – Reusable Tote Bag using a Sewing Machine

At the Scrapstore we are all about reusing and repurposing unwanted items, including textiles. There is so much lovely fabric in the world, some of it just needs to be looked at again and used in a different way. In this session we’ll be using donated fabric and giving it a second life as a fully lined tote bag, which you can use over and over again. We’ll guide you through every step of the process and you’ll go away with a completed bag, plus detailed instructions so you can make many more. (Hint: they make excellent gifts!) We have some lovely donated sewing machines ready for you to use, and it’s fine if your sewing skills are a bit rusty – or even if you haven’t used a machine before, we’ll have plenty of helpers on hand! What’s more, thanks to funding from the West Sussex Waste Prevention Community Fund Grant, we are able to offer this session entirely free of charge.
