✨ Looking for a stylish accessory that will allow you to level up your sewing skills? ✂️
Participants will create the gorgeous Arch Clutch by Kylie and the Machine (KATM) in our, 6 hour course, with a teacher supporting you every step of the way.
The Arch might be cute and compact but it is practical too: you can fit a large phone and a wallet in the main compartment plus cards and cash in the internal zipper pocket. Why not go completely hands-free? Add a handy wrist strap (optional) and you’ll never lose your clutch!
A Message from Kylie
“This project is a lot of fun! It's the ultimate scrap-buster and the perfect use for your scraps of fabric from sewing projects past. Don't be intimidated by the curved zipper! Even if you've never sewn a zipper before, our instructions will guide you through the process and you'll acquire a new skill and a new clutch bag!"

Terms & Conditions
Taking part in a workshop at Thread Den is fun and we love teaching people our craft, but here we have to get serious for a moment:
It is your responsibility to clear your diary for the booking you've made - especially if there are multiple sessions in your course. If you want to finish your project(s), you need to attend all workshops. You'll also need to arrive on time. We can't start again because it just isn't fair to your fellow participants.
Allow us this indulgence for a second, our workshops and courses - are usually sold out weeks in advance. It isn't a quick switch to pop you into another workshop. If we have an appropriate session where you can attend to keep going, we will try to offer you a discounted space. If that isn't possible, you will need to book a private lesson to stay on track (the minimum cost is NM -$144 or M -$119.52).
We also won't follow you up to check that you are coming along to class and/or that you have the right supplies for your class. Almost every workshop will require you to bring along your supplies, for some workshops we sell a supplies kit at an additional cost - but not for all. If you are unsure about what you need, just shoot us an email - info@threadden.com . We also want you to learn and love what you make as much as possible, please carefully consider the fabrics we recommend that you use. If you choose a fabric that is suited to a more advanced level you aren't going to enjoy your experience.
We've tried to answer any questions you could have in the workshop description, but again, don't hesitate to email us for any further details or with any queries. We loooove to see that fabric you are thinking of using and sending you off to some of our favourite fabric and habby suppliers.
Thanks for sticking with us and reading through those annoying details.
The details of our refund policy appear during the booking process.
Medical Events
- If you are required to isolate, with the supply of a medical certificate or COVID-19 testing referral covering the date of your workshop, you will be able to transfer your booking without incurring any penalties.
- Your safety is our priority, we reserve the right to make decisions if necessary to preserve the safety of all.
- In the event of a medical emergency, we may have to seek ambulance services on your behalf and at your expense.
