Dragonfly Duo Handbag

R450.00

A Project Worth Your Experience!

Do you crave to do a project that challenges your skills – one that demands precision and celebrates your creativity?

Well then, buckle it, because the Dragonfly Duo Bag workshop is exactly that! This bag transforms to suit your day – from a stylish shoulder sling handbag to a practical, casual backpack – with just a clever adjustment of straps.

This denim design blends practicality with elegance, featuring a neat outer pocket, a sturdy structure and a touch of decorative stitching that you’ll add as time allows.

We’ll provide the pattern so that you can continue experimenting at home – whether it’s adding embroidery, trying new stitch patterns, or exploring colour variations.

This is not a beginner’s make. It’s an opportunity for advanced sewists to enjoy a satisfying full-day project – one that balances precision with creativity.

Bring your favourite old denim, enjoy the rhythm of your stitching and watch as your project takes shape into a one-of-a-kind creation that reflects your skill and flair.
