Creation of a wool felt cross-body bag, customizing the compartments and colors to our needs. The course takes six hours, using a pattern provided, I guide you in making it. Take note that like the felt is worked with water, so it is possible that you will leave with a slightly damp bag. It is possible to sew the buttons and finishing even with a damp felt.

At the end of this workshop, you will leave with a finished felt bag, or nearly finished. You will have all the notions to finish the bag at home if needed.

TEACHER

Martine Bergeron

From my early childhood, I started making my clothes and certain accessories with recycled fabrics, leather and wood. I had a career in sewing/designer/tailor, I made and created tailor-made, personalized clothes, subsequently I became a specialist in tailoring adjustments for men and women.

It was only later that I discovered wool felt and I was blown away!
A door to a new world opened before me.
My first felt project was less than boots.
Afterwards I quickly understood that I would never again be able to see life other than through felt.
For reasons of health, comfort, creativity and self-sufficiency without forgetting the ecological side which is so important these days.

Also I would find it a shame to keep this know-how to myself, which is why I pass it on with workshops in person or in videos.
My greatest wish would be to form a beautiful, cozy community!
