Make a Hand Sewn Pouch

This is a ClassBento virtual Live/Box class! From the comfort of your home, share an artisan experience with your friends, family or colleagues, or enjoy with like-minded others. Our Live/Box classes have been featured on The Guardian, TimeOut, Broadsheet, Concrete Playground, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Vogue, and more. Here's how it works:

1. Request your preferred time
2. We'll deliver a ClassBento Box to you - this is a physical DIY craft kit containing the materials you'll need. Shipping is free, and it should arrive within 2 to 4 business days for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra; 4 to 9 days elsewhere. We ship nationwide.
3. Enjoy the online class. After booking, you'll receive a link to a Zoom meeting. At the time of the class, use that link to join. During the class, you can easily ask questions and get immediate responses. Zoom is free and easy to use, on any device. You're in control of your privacy - you can mute yourself and hide your webcam if and when you prefer.

Have some fun as you learn foundational hand-sewing techniques while you create a cute handcrafted purse or pouch. This is the perfect item to keep your money and keys or precious objects such as your crystals, jewellery or hair accessories.

What you will learn in this live online class will open up a new world of hobby activities to help you stay inspired as you create, make or mend. This is especially perfect for those looking for fun things to do at home this winter.

This class is suited to everyone including absolute beginners, from age nine to adults (please have an adult on hand for children aged from nine to 12). It's perfect as a relaxing craft class or virtual birthday party activity.

In this live online class, you will learn how to hand sew using a running stitch, blanket stitch and how sew on buttons. You will receive a craft box with all the material, buttons, threads and sewing tools needed to create your pouch. You will be taught the hand sewing techniques via live streaming and demonstrations while you make your pouch with your experienced teacher, Fiona. All you will need is a pair of scissors to snip the threads!

Once you have booked in your preferred time, please email Fiona and she will send on details so you can choose the fabric colour for your pouch.

• Beautiful pure wool blend fabric (by Kvadrat) in your choice of stunning colours
• Lining fabric for your pouch: cut and pressed to size
• Coloured embroidery threads for stitching
• Mix and match fabric covered buttons
• Embroidery needle
• Needle threader
• Pins
• Stitch diagrams

This Box and Live class is a great indoor activity idea for virtual team building activities at home. This is a fun indoor activity, suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 9 years old). An adult must be present whilst kid(s) engage with the box.

This would also be a unique gift for her or gift for mum.
