🧵 What's your bag going to say about you?

Start with a blank canvas. Then make it yours.

Join us during the Milford Makes Creative Reuse Pop-Up for Embellish a Tote, a hands-on workshop where you'll transform a Milford Makes canvas tote with a curated selection of patches, trims, stitching, buttons, and other creative treasures.

And here's the fun part: there's no right way to do it. Layer it. Stitch it. Patch it. Add a little—or a lot.

Bring your own creative ideas and leave with a tote that's completely, unmistakably yours.

Saturday, September 26
Two sessions: 1:00 and 2:00 PM
MAC Firehouse Gallery

Space is limited!

👉 Register here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/embellish-a-milford-makes-tote

Come make something you'll actually want to use.
