Skill Level: Advanced Beginner to Intermediate 

The Minimalist by our in-house brand, Studio M Squared, is the perfect purse for those times when you just need to carry the essentials. Whether you're running errands, going to a sporting event, or hitting the town for a fun night out, you can customize this wallet for your daily needs. With three separate compartments and two strap options, it's super versatile! Keep your cellphone in the front pocket for quick, easy access. Stash credit cards, cash, business cards or even your passport in the main zippered compartment or in the zippered pocket on the back of the bag. You can also easily clip your keyring onto one of the swivel hooks and then you're ready to go!

This class is suitable for intermediate level students who have prior experience sewing with zippers and installing bag hardware. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
