FROM THE DESIGNER:

Prepare your needles and thread, for a grand adventure awaits! Join me for a Lord of the Rings Themed Sewing Weekend where we’ll craft glorious handbags fit for a hobbit’s travels and discuss all things Middle Earth!

Let’s create handbags worthy of Elven royalty or perhaps even a Dwarf’s treasure stash! Feel free to channel your inner Sauron and sew with a dark sense of style, or keep it light like the Shire's finest ales.

While we stitch, let’s discuss whether Frodo would’ve made a better fashion icon than a ring-bearer, or debate if Gandalf’s beard has its own postcode. From the Shire to Mordor, we’ll chat about all things Middle Earth—just remember, no ring-wraiths allowed unless they come bearing snacks.

Prepare for a weekend of fellowship, fun, and fabulous crafting. May your stitches be as swift as the eagles’ wings and your laughter as hearty as a feast in the Prancing Pony!

“One does not simply walk into a sewing weekend… unless it’s with friends!”

 

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Are you ready for a relaxing weekend among fellow hobbits and elves? Then come along! We will be playing Lord of the Rings movies, having Second Breakfast and sewing whatever! Shannon has not required that you make only Knotted Threads Co Patterns. She will be available to answer questions but please note if you have questions regaurding a specific pattern from another designer she may not be able to fully answer. 

I hear there's also a goody bag with some early access items from Alchemats Materials & Hardware. 

SKILLS REQUIRED:

Bagmaking skills are required. This is an open sew, with a 1 hour Demonstration each day. Shannon is not here to teach you how to make a bag from start to finish. 

You do NOT need to know how to use an industrial for this workshop. We will be here to help! 

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

We do have materials you can use within the classroom; fabric, assorted hardware, templates. However, you will be responsible for bringing your projects. We have cutting tables and cutting tools for every student if you run out of time to complete the cutting adventure. 

WHAT WE OFFER WITHIN THE CLASSROOM:

We provide the machines, a wide variety of thread choices, needles, clips, rulers, thread snips, lighters, screw drivers, glue, duct tape, DST, hole punches, rivet presses, ironing station, heat press station. We also have a skiving machine for leather if you want to try to use that as well Lauren is happy to give a demonstration on it. 

We plan to provide a catered lunch on both days of the class. If you have dietary needs please let us know in the notes of your ticket or in an email. We want to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible within our space.
