The Preview Pouch is a vinyl-front pouch that let's you peek before you reach! It features a zipper closure that keeps everything secure yet instantly accessible - store your favorite notions, threads, cosmetics, and more. Once you make one for yourself, you'll want to make many more!

In this 2-week class, students will learn how to work with vinyl, install a zipper, and practice topstitching. This class is suitable for intermediate level students who have prior bag making experience. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
