Skill Level: Intermediate | Instructor: Erin Baginski

Class Date: Saturday, April 25 - 10am-3pm

Store all of your sewing essentials in style with this versatile, patchwork zippered pouch! The pattern offers four sizes; in class we'll be making the 'Big Pouch' which measures 11" x 6-1/4" x 6" - roomy enough to store your sewing notions and tools, or use it for everyday items such as a toiletry or makeup bag.

This 5-hour class is suitable for intermediate level students who have prior bag making experience. Skills learned in this class include patchwork, quilting, and sewing with zippers. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
