Granny Square Bumbag Workshop
Your hands have been craving a project that feels useful, joyful and just a little bit legendary. Enter the granny square bumbag: a wearable burst of colour that keeps your essentials close while your creativity stretches its legs.
If you’ve ever wished for a project that isn’t destined to gather dust in a cupboard, this one solves that beautifully. You’ll walk away with a finished accessory you’ll actually use, flaunt and maybe even brag about at the markets.
This workshop gives you more than a cute bag. It gives you the confidence to mix crochet with simple sewing, the thrill of making something functional, and the quiet pride of knowing you stitched a piece of yourself into every square. Students often tell me this project becomes their go-to “I made it myself” moment, sparking more creative play long after the class is over.
Can’t quite master the granny square? Fear not, there's a class for that too! And guess what? Sign up for both classes and snag yourself a sweet discount!
What you'll Learn:
• How to join your squares into a sturdy bag shape
• How to line your bumbag with fabric so it’s neat, durable and ready for daily adventures
• How to insert a zip without fear
• How to attach straps and finish the whole piece so it looks shop-worthy
• Tips for colour combos, customising sizes and turning more granny squares into functional accessories
You’ll leave with a finished bumbag, new skills stitched into your fingertips, and a little glow that tends to follow makers home.
