The ‘Valerie’ Bag – August 15th 2026 Retreat

Price range: £8.50 through £15.00

We know you like a challenge, we know you like making bags, & in this ever increasing safety conscious world – you need a bag to keep things safe!  Close to your body!

Enter then…. The August project…. The ‘Valerie’ Bag. 

Oh my goodness are you gonna love this one!!  Make 1, make 5….. they’re great as gifts… fabulous to take out for the day – or on holiday!  It’ll hold your passport, your phone…. Tickets, purse….. tissues even!

There could be an ‘argument’ …. In the ‘What-If’ thought process…. That you line it with RFID!!  but thats for another day. 

Now it’s not a simple make, birthing the bag, well…..its a very different process!! We do like a teaching point 😉….. so – come & learn something new, make something you can enter for The Bucks County Show…. It is a Crossbody Bag….. make it for yourself &  maybe make several for gifts!!  

What you’ll need:- [ALL fabric to be prepared – in advance…. all wetted & beautifully pressed!]

1 Fat Quarter for the outside

1 Fat Quarter for the lining

1 Fat Quarter for the pocket linings

Thread to go with your fabric – there IS top stitching to be done!

 

Theres a Kit! (We know you like a kit) & there’s lots of bits in this one!!. In your kit will be :-

White zips x 2…. (One for inside & one for outside)

Jeans needles – makes sewing the thicker seams much easier!!

The hardware. 25mm (2 x D rings, 1 x slider, 2 x clasps & 1 x twist lock catch)

The cotton webbing for your strap – there are different colours to the one we used before…. choose on the day!

Thick/Thin to interface your bag with. 

The Hardware will be Silver as standard…. We do have a few Gold sets…. they’re limited…. But you can choose when you add your bag project option!
