Important little switch up this week 👀✨ Artisans Make & Play will NOT, we repeat, will NOT be happening on Tuesday this time 🌷❌ This Tuesday is reserved for a special @amigosmeet event in collaboration with an upcoming film 🎬 Because seating is specifically accounted for, you may only attend Tuesday’s event if you’ve already registered for that experience. Instead, Make & Play is moving to Thursday for this week only 💫 So if you were planning your usual Tuesday creative reset, don’t panic, just shift with us ✨ Thursday is your night to bring your own materials, work on projects you’ve been meaning to finish, or dive into our self guided craft options and available materials for purchase while supplies last. As always, wander next door to @thethingslabmiami ♻️ for treasure hunting, fabrics, buttons, creative reuse finds, and all kinds of unexpected inspiration before or during your night. Same creative energy, same low pressure vibe, just a different day this week 🤹🏽‍♀️🎨🧵 Thursday, we make & play 🌙

Sew Your Own Fabric Tote Bag Workshop, May 16, with the lovely @nelisamakesstuff 💫 Link in bio to register 🪑🎟️🧵✨ Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly sewing workshop where you’ll learn how to create your very own fabric tote bag from start to finish. This hands-on session will guide you through the basics of measuring, cutting, and sewing while making a practical bag you can actually use every day. Bring your own fabric if you have a favorite material you’d love to turn into a tote, or choose from a curated selection of fabrics included with your workshop ticket. Want to get extra creative? You’ll also have the option to make your tote reversible, giving you two looks in one handmade bag. On your way in, don’t forget to explore our neighbors at @thethingslabmiami ♻️ where you may find rescued fabric scraps, buttons, patches, trims, and unexpected treasures to personalize your tote and make it even more uniquely yours. Whether you’re brand new to sewing or just craving a relaxed creative escape, this workshop is a beautiful way to build skills, connect, and leave with something useful you made yourself.
