Kid's Pattern Design & Bag-Making Workshop

January 2024
A workshop where your child will learn new artistic skills and make their own draw-string backpack using fabric printed with their own unique designs. 

Workshop Outline

Day 1, Monday
Learn how to draw fun and artistic motifs that could work well on fabric design. This will be a day of art experimenting, learning how to draw simple elements, and using nature to create art.
Day 2, Tuesday
Discover what a repeat pattern is and how they work. Learn how to create your own repeating pattern by implementing the artistic skills and techniques learnt from Day One. 
Wednesday (NO WORKSHOP)
Rest Day! On Wednesday we will get the children's pattern designs printed onto fabric so that we can continue the sewing aspect of the workshop the next day. Each child will receive 1m of printed fabric. Please note that at the end of the worshop, you will have the option to order more of your child's custom designed fabric at an additional cost. 
Day 3, Thursday
Backpack making day! Children will cut out the necessary pattern pieces required to make their backpack of choice (options listed below), learn basic needlework skills and create any other necessary accessories for their bag (pompom tails etc.). 
Day 4, Friday
Finish assembling the backpacks and finalise all decorating.

Our new hand-drawn ‘Toile du Cap’ design is complete and ready to browse on our website🥂 

This design is inspired by the gardens of Babylonstoren, as well as my own Cape Dutch family home. A classic depiction of the scenery found in the Cape winelands 🍇

We decided to name this pattern Toile du Cap, as a play on the original French style ‘Toile de Jouy’ which literally translated to ‘cloth of Jouy (a town in France)’. Now we can gladly say we have a classic ‘cloth of Cape Town’. 

Enjoy perusing the collection and all its many colour variants on our website www.robynvalerie.com
