Would highly recommend this workshop! I had absolutely 0 sewing experience beforehand and came away with a lovely bike frame bag. Luke and Saskia were so patient and nice as they guided me through the process. Overall, really great experience !

Another awesome workshop at Into Carry. Luke is a superstar and I’m absolutely delighted with my messenger bag. Learnt heaps of new skills, had fun and met great people too.
Such a fun and welcoming workshop. Luke is a great teacher!
Beautiful space and people. Luke is extremely patient and attentive, and will guide you from whatever sewing skill you have. Feels like being a kid again, just playing around and having some fun. Did an introductory course and left feeling i know my basics now to attempt at home.
the introductory sewing class was fun, made a couple of cute patches hehe, gave us some tea and snacks too
Luke was super lovely and even managed to teach my hopeless ass how to sew, even if I did make a few knots and made every possible error with the machine
Well, it’s an easy bag to do but i had difficulties to align correct my so u can see it’s unheaven. And also it’s bulky because the 2 fabrics didn’t stay flat together, other than that i’m gonna do more because i’ve collected lots of banner. Thank u Luke for the respond to my questions.
Such a brilliant concept and such a fun weekend activity with friends. Luke is such a friendly, welcoming teacher. We loved it!
A wonderful day! Luke was a great teacher and so much fun to upcycle used material into a funky bag. Thank you!
Such a brilliant concept and such a fun weekend activity with friends. Luke is such a friendly, welcoming teacher. We loved it!
My second bag making workshop with into carry. So much fun, new skills learned and again walked away with a bag that is both functional and creative. Luke and Saskia are gems…patient, clever and encouraging. Thank you!
What a great Workshop! I went with my friend and we both found the experience , engaging fun and informative... in such a comfortable and welcoming environment from start to finish. Luke was once again fantastic throughout, very patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, with a great sense of humour. Which he needed with us :) Saskia also great when she joined us later. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn something new ,creative and fun.
My friend and I did the bag making classes and the program was fantastic! We were lucky enough to have a rotation of a few of the teachers which were Kate, Saskia and Luke! They were all so great! As someone who had barely any sewing practice beforehand I felt extremely comfortable asking for help and advice! The instructors would be walking around the room asking people if they needed help, so no one was left behind or anything like that! I would highly recommend Into Carry to those wanting to try something new, and I look forward to making more bags in the future! - Lachie
I went to the beginner's patch-matching class and it was awesome! Luke is a great teacher and the class was really fun and relaxed, and I left with a bunch of new skills (and patches!). Highly recommend for those who want a simple and fun intro to sewing but don't know where to get started. Thanks so much Luke!
So much fun haven’t sewed in years but Luke had me creating again. Excellent facilitator.
Absolutely loved doing this class, Saskia was awesome to learn from, the class was very informative and interesting and I learnt how to make a bag! Highly recommend this to anyone interested in wanting to learn bag making and or wanting to learn skills in recycling
Had a session with Britt on Saturday - she was so wonderful, patient, and informative. Really relaxed vibes and I learnt a lot on the basics of sewing. Thank you ❤️
Lovely teacher who made everything easy to understand, and such a fun class.
The best people, space and concept. From the moment I signed up for the course everything was easy and fun. And I got an amazing bag, an unforgettable experience and skills I can use forever. 11/10 experience! Particular shout out to Saskia for her patience and kindness.
Beautifully packaged and everything needed to complete the bag.
Great experience. Loved learning a new practical skill and leaving with a bag. Highly recommend.
Such a great class, super supportive environment and everyone’s final bag looks incredible. Highly recommend!
Intro workshop was honestly the best two hours I’ve ever spent. I can't wait to start cracking on my own projects!
So much fun!!! Kate and Saskia were super helpful & I love my new bag!
Great intro to sewing!!
Really enjoyed this workshop. I'd already done the intro courses and the five week program, and this one still challenged me — but in a good way, I came away with plenty of new skills. The bag I made turned out better than I expected, genuinely spectacular. Luke is great at what he does — patient, encouraging, and good at giving just enough direction to make sure everyone gets their bag finished. Happy to recommend it. I made the Midi Messenger bag on the Left. Luke had already made the mlarger bag.
Loved this weekend. Having already done the custom bag course, I needed a reason to continue learning and making bags. I took up the opportunity to make messenger bags as I had already bought the kit but yet to start. Luke was patient and helpful especially with the instructions. I made these bags for my brothers but will return to unleash more creativity with my own bag in the near future.
Brilliant! This is such a great way to learn sewing if you a new to it, upcycling is an awesome way to help our environment and getting something you have made out of the class is so worth it, I enjoyed making my bag. Saskia was awesome! So knowledgeable and ready to assist everyone made the class fun, easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend this to everyone no matter what your skill level.
Super interesting and engaging. I already had some sewing experience, but learning to patch pieces together with top stitching was a new skill to me. Watching everything come together over the term was so cool, I was so excited for class every week. And of course a big thanks to Saskia for all the guidance and encouragement, she was a wonderful teacher.
Great idea, and the finished bag is sturdy, practical, attractive, and unique. The instructions are clear. Sewing the material is a bit different to sewing fabric, so there is a learning curve, but it's well worth it.
My daughter and her support worker loved the class and the bags they made!!!!
Excellent tutorial, very accessible, very inspiring
For everyone that loves things with a purpose and personalising your daily use items ;) Recently I participated in the framebag workshop and made all my big dreams come true with the help and knowledge of Luke and Saskia. I am now the proud owner of a sexy, highly functional, sustainable, self-made bag and feel so happy. Making things with your hands is so refreshing and you’ll be amazed of the results you’ll get by trusting the process <3 Highly recommended for absolutely everybody!
Amazing !! Both teachers were so patient and so kind, it felt like they really wanted to be there and loved what they did
My experience was so special - lovely people, great space, joy and individuality in abundance, new skills, and mind-opening sewing possibilities unlocked. If you are looking to smile for two hours straight, five weeks in a row, and then forever more when you look at your bag - this is the course for you. Thank you, Into Carry crew!
I recently completed the Custom Frame Bag (for bikes) workshop at Into Carry. I learnt so much from Luke and Saskia. They are very knowledgeable and extremely patient. I feel confident enough now to try my luck with other recycled material bags. I also completed a mini messenger kit bag at home. It's my favourite bag. You should definitely get one of those after you try an in-person workshop. Highly, highly recommend.
Great energy from Saskia and Luke! Super helpful and from zero experience I came out with heaps of learnings and a great bag :)
The Custom Bag Making Workshop was honestly one of the highlights of my year so far! Saskia and Brittany were the best facilitators you could ask for🙌🏼 Their passion and expertise in upcycling made the whole process super inspiring yet approachable. I had a blast with the Sunday arvo crew and walked away with an unique snazzy bag… I will be missing this and cannot wait to continue my upcycling journey.
Massive fan! Great instructors, very inclusive and casual atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
