Make your own upcycled handbag

Discover upcycled sewing with Jeanne!

Upon your arrival, you'll be warmly welcomed by this passionate artisan.

After introductions, she'll start by explaining the theoretical basics of sewing. Don't worry if you're a beginner or an enthusiast – Jeanne will take the time to detail the different tools and techniques that will be useful for this session. She will also introduce you to the principles and values of zero-waste sewing.

Then it's your turn! You'll first choose your favourite blanket, which will be given a second life as it's transformed into a handbag. There will be many options in terms of colours and patterns from the artisan's carefully prepared selection!

Guided by Jeanne, you'll then move on to cutting the fabric using a pattern, and then hand-sewing your creation. Jeanne will be by your side throughout, offering advice and help when needed.

Once the finishing touches are done, you'll leave with your beautiful, unique upcycled handbag, eager to wear it as a memento of this wonderful creative experience!
