Twin Made Sparkly Bum Bag and Macramé Workshop!

Leonie is currently working at Twin Made while she is studying at Cardiff University. Leonie managed to squeeze in two Twin Made workshops in between her busy schedule! She wrote about it here:

My workshop experience at Twin Made I took part in a bum bag and macramé plant hanger workshop at Twin Made and had a great time! In the first workshop I attended, I crafted my own sparkly bum bag. It might sound difficult to make your own bag, but it is easier thank you think.

“The result was beautiful, I felt very proud of myself. ”

— Leonie

The welcoming and artsy atmosphere at Twin Made makes it even more enjoyable. First, we had to choose our fabric for the inside and outside of the bag and a zip colour. The instructions given by Charlotte made every crafting step very clear and simple. We mainly worked with a sewing machine, which was fun and sometimes challenging – but Charlotte was of great help and very patient. Once we sew the bag together, we attached a strap to the bum bag. The result was beautiful, I felt very proud of myself. This fun evening made me want to craft more as it is such a great achievement to make something yourself!

The second workshop was creating your own Macramé plant hanger. I was impressed that the fabric we used was old shirts from a factory in Portugal – a great sustainable way of reusing clothes! Macramé is an ancient knotting craft and very relaxing. Charlotte showed us various knotting techniques that were easy to learn and use. The knotting itself was calming and relaxing and a great opportunity to talk to one another.

The art of Macramé is fascinating and such a beautiful way to make your plant stand out. After attending both workshops, I was sent guidelines on both crafting activities. I am looking forward to creating more sparkly bum bags and plant hangers. I can highly recommend the workshops and will definitely attend more!
