Indulge your handbag addiction! Choose one of several fun designs for handbags/totebags that can be made in the 2.5 hour class. All patterns are provided and are designed for beginners, but can be modified and customized for more advanced sewers as well. This class is very accessible for those who have just started sewing, and is a fun first project to try out your new skills.
Class time: 1 session, 2.5 hours
Maximum class size: 6 people
Supplies required: I provide the patterns and some construction supplies such as D-rings, grommets, and flexible rubber tubing for handles that can be used if you choose a bag design that needs these. You will need to get your own fabric for the bag according to these specifications:
- 1 yard of heavy weight woven fabric for the bag outside, such as canvas or upholstery fabric (tip: check out the home decor section of fabric stores for lots of fun choices)
- 1 yard of medium-light weight cotton for the lining
- Matching thread
- A button for a closure (larger buttons work best) if you would like to have this on your bag
Prerequisites: Intro to Sewing or knowledge of basic sewing machine operation
Fee: $40
Schedule:
The next class will likely take place in October. Please contact me if you would like to be notified when the next series is posted.
