Saturday 19 September 2020: Online Workshop (Juniper Basket)

Svetlana Sotak - Saturday 19 September 2020 - 6.00pm to 9.00pm (BST)

Online Interactive Workshop: Juniper Basket

Hot on the heels of her first CraftyMonkies Workshop in July, Svetlana Sotak returns with yet another wonderfully engaging project for all of you who love the idea of making the most gorgeous contemporary bags: volia, the Juniper Basket!

​

Make a super-handy fabric basket featuring a unique, Japanese inspired drawstring closure using easily accessible sewing supplies and materials. In this class we'll learn how to add structure and stability to your basket as well as how to install and neatly finish a welted zipper pocket (either metal or nylon zipper will both work well). This basket makes a wonderful project bag, storage basket, or even a gift bag!

Subject to which size bag you are interested in making, the following materials are required for this Online Interactive Workshop with Svetlana which will see you the proud owner of a Small or Large Juniper Basket! Svetlana's pattern for this project will be forwarded by us to you, shortly after you've signed up for the course:-
