Kids Sewing Workshop – Sleepover Tote Bag | Ages 9+

Newent, Gloucestershire

Dates: Wednesday 23rd July 2025

Venue: Newent Community Centre

Make Your Own Sleepover Tote Bag – with a secret twist!

 

 

In this fun and practical summer sewing workshop, kids will sew their very own tote bag with pockets on the outside and (new for 2025!) an extra secret pocket hidden inside! It’s the perfect project for summer adventures, sleepovers, trips to the park or beach, library trips or just carrying snacks in style.

 

They’ll learn how to:

• Use a sewing machine safely and confidently
• Stitch strong seams and construct a fully lined bag
• Add handles and a hidden pocket
• Personalise their creation with fun fabric choices

 

🏠 What they’ll take home

By the end of the day, they’ll be bringing home a tote bag that’s stylish, practical, and completely made by them, secret pocket and all!

🙋 FAQs

Do they need to have sewn before?
Not at all – this workshop is beginner-friendly and designed to build confidence, even if they’ve never threaded a needle before.

Do we need our own sewing machine?
No – all equipment is provided! But if your child has their own machine and would like to learn on it, they’re welcome to bring it along.

Can my child attend more than one workshop?
Absolutely – they’re designed to complement each other, so your child can build skills across the summer. Discounts apply when booking 3 or more.

Is there a sibling discount?
Sibling discounts may be available. Please contact me directly before you book so that I can help. 

What do they need to bring?
A packed lunch, drink, and lots of enthusiasm! Oh, and a good night’s sleep the night before. All materials and snacks are included.

Can I stay with my child?
No, these are drop-off workshops to help build your child’s confidence and independence in a fun and safe environment. They will be ready to pick up at 4pm to show off what they have made, and you’re welcome to message me with any questions beforehand.
