Make the Oast Shoulder Bag
Machine Sewing Workshop
With Annabelle Davis
Time: 10:00am – around 4:30pm
Class size: Max. 7 students
Level: Confident beginners & improvers
Create a shoulder bag you’ll actually use
Spend a relaxed day sewing and go home with a fully finished, practical shoulder bag, neatly constructed, fully lined, and sturdy enough for everyday use.
The Oast Shoulder Bag is the perfect size for your daily essentials (a book, lip balm, and yes - a bar of chocolate!). With an adjustable strap and magnetic closure, it’s both functional and stylish, and much easier to sew than it looks.
This machine sewing workshop is ideal if you’re ready to move beyond simple projects and want the satisfaction of completing a beautiful bag in one session.
This class is for you if:
You have basic sewing machine skills
You’d like to build confidence with more structured sewing projects
You want to leave with a finished bag you’ll be proud to use
Not suitable for complete beginners to sewing machines.
What you’ll learn
During the workshop, Annabelle will guide you step-by-step through:
Cutting fabric from a simple pattern
Inserting and sewing a neat lining
Adding an adjustable strap
Attaching a magnetic closure
You’ll pick up techniques you can reuse in future bag-making projects.
What’s included
Everything you need to complete your bag is provided:
Main outer fabric for your bag (choice of 3 colours)
Webbing for the strap
All hardware (magnetic popper, strap sliders & D-rings)
Use of our sewing machines (or bring your own if you prefer)
Teas, coffee, delicious treats and lunch from The Oast Bakery
Make it your own
If you’d like to personalise your bag, bring ½ metre of light cotton fabric in a colour or print of your choice for the lining. Alternatively, you’re welcome to choose from our selection of cotton remnants on the day.
