🧵 What’s a Bag Making Retreat Like?

It’s like a crafty sleepover – but better.

You’ll spend a weekend away with fellow bag lovers, working on your own projects at your own pace, with plenty of laughs, hands-on help, and time to sew without life getting in the way.

Expect…

✅ A relaxed, welcoming vibe
✅ Time to sew, chat, and unwind
✅ No pressure, no judgement – just sewing joy
✅ Expert help on hand if you get stuck
✅ Good food, good company, and lots of bag chat

Bag Making Retreats in the North East

📍Where & When?

Dates and locations are still being finalised, but retreats will be North East-based, in warm, welcoming venues with space to sew, sleep, and relax.

They’re perfect for solo travellers, friends travelling together or anyone who just needs a break from the everyday and wants to reconnect with their sewing mojo.

🌟 What to Expect

Expect a relaxed, friendly environment where you can bring your own projects and sew at your own pace, surrounded by likeminded makers who love a good natter. Whether you're tackling something new or finally finishing that bag you've had cut out for months, there’s no pressure – just time, space, and support to enjoy your sewing. You’ll be well fed with plenty of lovely food, endless brews, and maybe a cheeky biscuit (or three), all wrapped up in proper northern hospitality that’ll make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
