    Description

    With a nod to the concept of Japanese furoshiki wrapping, join Karen on this one-day workshop to make a fabric pouch which can be reused each year for Christmas or birthday wrapping. This is a beautiful, sustainable alternative to wrapping paper and could become a family heirloom.

    Choose between a portrait or landscape style. Fabric pouches also make wonderful coverings for journals, jewellery, laptops and tablets, or any other special keepsakes.

    Expected learning outcomes

    • Finish a beautiful keepsake in natural fibres
    • Take home your pattern and instructions so you can make more pouches at home
    • Learn tips and tricks from Karen to improve your sewing skills
