Skill Level: Advanced Beginner to Intermediate

This modern sling bag is great for everyday use - it's large enough to use for a pool or beach day, easily storing your towel, favorite book and water bottle.  Or bring it with you on your daily errands like visiting the farmer's market or grocery store. It's great for large, vibrant prints that just need to be shown off!

This 3-week class is suitable for advanced beginner to intermediate level students.  Prior bag making experience is recommended; ideally, students will have successfully sewn at least one bag to completion prior to attending this class.  Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
