Join our full-day sewing workshop where you can create your unique cross-body bag in our full-1-day workshop! Ideal for confident beginners and experienced sewers who enjoy a social stitching environment.
Sew this sling-style bag with Emma to carry your daily necessities or to take for travel. Its convenient sling design allows for easy access as well as being out of the way when you’re not using it. It is compact yet roomy enough for the essentials.
Choose from a front zippered pocket (View A) or a patch pocket (View B), both come in handy for quick access to smaller items. An adjustable strap makes it easy to wear. Perfect for biking or daily use!
