📅 Saturday, July 12, 2025
🕐 1–5 PM
📍Guelph Studio Space, 77 Suffolk St. W., Guelph
👥 Max. 7 participants 

Let’s get organized! 💫 In this workshop, you’ll sew your very own Lagom Storage Bin. In Swedish, lagom (pronounced LAW-gom) means “just the right amount,” and with five different sizes to choose from, you’ll sew up something that's both practical and beautiful. 💕

✨ What You’ll Learn:
You'll pick up beginner-friendly sewing skills like:
📏 Using a rotary cutter & ruler
🧵 Working with interfacing for structure

🧵 Skill Level:
Confident beginner – just the basics needed (threading your machine, winding a bobbin, and sewing a straight line). If that’s you, you’re good to go! 

🎁 Included in Your Class Fee:
✅ PDF Lagom Storage Bin pattern by Sotak Handmade
✅ ½ yard fusible fleece interfacing
✅ 1 yard SF101 fusible interfacing
✅ 1 yard of 1” cotton webbing (neutral canvas – optional for handles)
✅ 8 brass double-cap rivets (optional but make a lovely finishing touch!) 

🧶 What You’ll Need to Bring:
• Exterior fabric & lining fabric –
  🧺 X-Small: ¼ yard of each
  🧺 All other sizes: ½ yard of each
• Thread
• Sewing machine (in good working order with a new-ish needle – or rent one at checkout)
• Basic sewing kit – scissors, seam ripper, pins, etc. (Don’t worry if you don’t have these, I’ve got plenty to share!)

🎨 Fabric Tips:
For best results, mix fabric weights! Try:
🧵 Quilting cotton, canvas, denim, Essex linen, cotton/linen blends, or medium weight home décor fabric.
💡 Use one heavier fabric and one lighter (e.g., canvas + quilting cotton). Two lightweights (like cotton + linen) work great too!
