This class is perfect for the beginner sewer. You will learn how to pin, mark and cut out your pattern. You will be doing straight stitching, making darts and sewing along curves. We’ll provide the pattern with specific instructions and guide you along the way to make a super cute and useful bag.

Choose the size you want and then see the material list for what you will need to bring.
The small bag is sized for phone, keys and small wristlet. Perfect for a quick run to the store. The medium bag is sized for bigger wristlets, a to-go craft bag or transporting those gyms clothes. The large bag is big enough to hang from the shoulder and is sized to be used for a shopping bag or maybe all the things you need to take to the pool or park. The uses are endless.
