HAF: Sustainable Wash Bag Workshop (9–14 yrs)

Avoid the post-Christmas blues and join us for two creative days designing and making your very own wash, skincare, or travel bag — perfect for yourself or as a thoughtful gift!

All fabrics are sustainable, donated by local London designers as part of our mission to reduce fashion waste. Depending on your skill level (and whether you’ve joined us before!), you can explore patchwork, appliqué, inserting zips, adding a lining, piping, or even digital embroidery.

We’ve made this workshop a little shorter — just two days — but you’ll still finish your project, learn new skills, and enjoy healthy snacks and a movement break too.

✂️ Skills You’ll Learn:
• Machine & hand sewing
• Pinning, measuring, and cutting fabric
• Inserting zips and shaping curved seams
• Colour matching and patchwork design
• Decorative finishing techniques
• Confidence and creative expression

🥗 Free Nutritious Snacks Provided
A selection of foods suitable for all dietary needs.
