Create a Customizable, Handmade Pouch with Confidence
Service Description
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to sew a simple and stylish flat-bottom zipper pouch—perfect for storing small treasures. You’ll also discover how to customize your pouch with different sizes, fabrics, and unique touches. We'll discuss adding pockets, wrist straps, and other personal details you can incorporate into future projects. We have a variety of new and re-used fabrics to choose from, as well as zippers in a few colors. Feel free to bring your own, but send us a note to make sure you have the right materials. Whether you’re looking to keep it simple or explore new ideas, this workshop will help you build sewing confidence while having fun. Take your time, ask questions, and leave with a beautiful, personalized pouch to call your own! We have machines to borrow, but you're welcome to bring your own machine that you know how to use. Please let us know if you're bringing your own machine, and arrive 10 min early to set it up. This workshop is suited for beginners who know sewing basics. This workshop is designed for age 12 and up. This is a very small group workshop with only 4 participants.

"I have only attended the Fiber Club and Marbling Workshop so far am so inspired!! Small Space Collective is such a treasure in our town. San Clemente has been needing something like this for a long time. The two women who run this studio have an incredible vision. They are building a wonderful community of artists and crafters who can share and learn from each other."

"Small Space Collective is such a gem!! I was so happy to find a place to go do small artsy projects. I love that you don't have to sign up for multiple weeks but that you can just pick the workshops that you would like to go and it's easier with me with my schedule that varies all the time. I am already signing up for the next fun workshop."
