Intro to Upcycling // 1 Session Bag Making

Learn to sew, upcycle pants and make a tote bag with this fun, caffeinated 3.5 hour weekend workshop.
This is a great session to share with a mate, learn to sew or see if the world of bag upcycling is for you. You’ll leave with a belly full of coffee (thanks Into Coffee) and your own tote bag made from busted pants.

LEARNINGS & OUTCOMES: This three hour workshop (which goes hella fast) covers how to efficiently break down a pair of jeans to maximise working material, learn the process of assembly for creating durable totes and process of assembly for sewing badass totes at home. Which includes:

  • Domestic sewing machine fundamentals (if you need to touch up on your skills).
  • Guidelines to effectively break down clothing for upcycling.
  • Upcycling design (storytelling) and basic patterning (which parts go where)
  • How to reconstruct clothing ready for upcycling.
  • Tote bag process of assembly (step by step how to make a tote).
  • Leave with your own custom tote bag!

FAQ - Bag Making Workshop

You don't need any prior sewing experience to start this workshop. We will teach you how to sew at the beginning of the class and help guide you throughout the session.
If you like it! We have a five week bag making course to continue developing your skills in making epic bags from trash :)

You are welcome to... but you absolutely don't need to. We have an abundance of excess pants here, just ready and waiting to be upcycled.

Uhhhh heck yeah, yes please. This Saturday morning, caffeinated workshop is a great way to catch up with someone over coffee and upcycling.

In fact, if you book at the same time, enter ' BYOMATES ' at checkout for $30 off.

Great question... we are located at 2A Robert St, Collingwood 3066. It's a 3 minute walk from the Peel St tram stop on Smith St. Or it's right off Wellington St and its epic bike path.

Dang right you can... The bag making process is highly adaptable so you can continue making your own versions from home or you can jump on board our next bag making course which begin every few weeks. Check out the next one here.
