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!”
