A four week course (4 x 2 hour sessions) where we will make a bag with a lovely flower motif and learn some new techniques along the way, including crocheting flat fabric and how to make a custom fit lining for your bag.
Skill Level – Improvers
You’ll need to be confident with the basic crochet stitches such as chaining, double crochet (UK treble), single crochet (UK double).
This is a great follow on course for those that have done my beginners course.
You wouldn’t need to attend every class, however, missing the first class would not be ideal and you’d still have to pay for the whole course – but of course you’d receive any relevant class notes/links to videos.
Not suitable for complete beginners.

Important – Cancellation Policy
Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. The cost of any materials ordered cannot be refunded. After this time, i.e. 7/05/2024, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable for me. Additionally, refunds are not given if you are unable to attend some of the classes. Of course, full refunds will be given in the event that the course is cancelled due to the venue or I cancelling the course. Thank you for your understanding.
