Craft Your Perfect Companion: A Weekend Bag-Making Workshop with Helen Stubbings & Tina Thain!
Join us for an exciting and immersive weekend of bag making, brought to you by Quarter Inch and the Tasmanian Modern Quilt Group (TMQG)! We are thrilled to host the incredible Helen Stubbings of Hugs 'n Kisses and the renowned bag-making expert, Tina Thain, for a workshop that promises to elevate your bag-making skills to new heights.
Over two inspiring days, you'll have the fantastic opportunity to create either the stylish Oxbow Tote or the spacious Poppins Bag. Your chosen pattern is included in your class fee, setting you up for success from the start!
This isn't just a class; it's a deep dive into the world of professional bag construction. You'll gain invaluable insights from Tina Thain, a celebrated bag maker with a string of awards to her name, whose exceptional workmanship and bag-making prowess are truly something to behold. Tina will generously share her treasure trove of tips, tricks, and hacks for achieving beautifully finished bags, tackling zips, hardware, and linings with confidence and flair. You'll learn the secrets to crisp corners, sturdy handles, and that coveted polished look every bag maker dreams of!
While you won't necessarily complete your bag within the two days, you will make substantial progress, leaving with a solid foundation, crucial techniques mastered, and the confidence to finish your stunning creation at home.
Quarter Inch will be your one-stop shop for the weekend! All materials, bag hardware, and any last-minute fabric choices will be conveniently available for purchase right there at our pop-up shop, ensuring you have everything you need to bring your chosen bag to life.
What to Bring: Please bring your sewing machine, along with your usual bag-making and quilting equipment. A detailed supply list will be provided upon registration.
Don't miss this unique chance to learn from the best, hone your skills, and create a beautiful, functional bag that you'll cherish for years to come. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot for a weekend of stitching excellence!
