Craft in Focus: Make a fashionable tote bag
Event Information
About this event
Over the course of 3 hours Rocio Salceda will guide you through machine and hand stitching in a fun way.
You’ll get to experience all the different steps to a final, well finished product: a lined tote bag that you’ll be able to use from the moment the class ends and reproduce on your own.
Materials are provided. Fabrics from Rocio’s personal curated selection will be at your disposal.
This class is perfect if you’ve never sewn, or sewn very little, but you wish to wear something you made, with your own personal aesthetic.
Rocio Salceda is a Spanish fashion designer based in Manhattan. Her namesake brand brings a sense of play and elegance into unique, personalized garments. Rocio also directs La Junta NYC, an independent school in the Upper East Side dedicated to making beautiful clothes and cooking amazing food.
