Description
Skill Level: Intermediate | Instructor: Melissa Balagot
The Plover Pouch includes three sizes which all have a dividable mesh pocket that is perfect for keeping all your essentials organized. It works great as a traveling toiletry bag, make-up case, or even a small tool bag to store all your crafty and sewing notions and tools. The medium and large sizes also include an interior zippered pocket.
During this 3-week class, students will learn two different ways to sew in zippers, how to sew a gusset, sewing with mesh fabric and fold-over elastic, and installing snaps. This class is suitable for intermediate students that have prior bag making and sewing with zippers experience. Anyone who has taken our Simple Zipper Pouch or Holland Pouch class are encouraged to give the Plover a whirl!
