This class will guide you through creating your own tote bag with a pocket from start to finish! Your bag will have a pocketed front and straps so it can be held or worn over the shoulder. This is an easy project so no prior sewing experience is necessary.
INSTRUCTOR: Natalie Ley of Snake Bite Creations
PROJECT: Students will construct a tote bag; learning how to cut fabric, sew and finish basic seams, hem, topstitch, (and if the student would like a higher level finish: french seams)
DISCUSSION: In addition to covering all the steps required to sew your bag, we will examine fabric construction and content. We will also discuss how to read pattern instructions and an explanation of grainlines.
INCLUDED: Fabric scissors/shears, sewing pins and the sewing patterns are included.
There are 3 available spots that include sewing machines. All other registrants will need to bring their own sewing machines.
PREREQUISITE: None! No experience is required.
PLEASE BRING: If you are bringing your own sewing machine, PLEASE TEST IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING. Materials: to create the bag that best suits your personality, find the colour and fabric that you love!
