Every student will produce make three basic bag techniques plus one or two more from a range of delectable designs and patterns. A must for all bag-aholics - t’is fast, fun and Oh sew simple!!
Workshop starts with three easy techniques for constructing bags then students have a chance to choose which of the other bags they wish to make. All students will cut out the first part of the requirements then choose which additional bag they wish to make and bring the relevant requirements. Only one other bag in addition to the three initial techniques can be made in class.
These designs can be constructed from a variety of materials. If desired, pre-wash all materials but use a spray starch when pressing to restore ‘body’. It is appreciated that students prefer to complete or almost complete their class sample and each class is carefully designed so this should be possible. Class suitable for every level of sewing ability.
