Sew the Buckthorn Backpack or Tote during this 1 day class!
Guest Instructor, Winnifred Smith, is back to teach us how to make the either the backpack or tote size of the Buckthorn. We had this class in the past and it was had excellent feedback with our students!
This pattern, by Noodlehead, is a very easy to make project that will give you a very durable and practical bag. Choose to make the bag from our waxed canvas, other canvas, or printed cotton. Winnifred made hers into a lunch bag, adding a laminated cotton inside for a wipeable surface. After you make one during the class, you can make many more variations at home.
We can help you get all of the required supplies in the shop!
