Who is ready to learn to sew bags! YOU? Amazing. Let's do it together!

In this 6 week series we'll cover learning to sew + learning to sew a few great bags from scratch. Starting with learning the parts of the machine and how to use it, to learning about sewing tools, to learning to read a bag sewing pattern and understanding bag hardware and how to install it, to making 4 great bags.

We'll begin by learning to sew and will make a simple tote bag in the first session. Then the following week we'll make a lined zipper pouch with boxed corners; the following two sessions we'll make the Klum House Maywood Totepack and the last two sessions we'll make the Noodlehead Sandhill Sling. 

For this class series, you'll need to purchase our materials kit, which will have everything we'll use for each project. It will be much easier for us to be sure we have all the correct fabric and hardware for the classes. You'll get materials for the classes during class. You'll have a choice of colors for your projects. When you checkout, add the bag series materials kit to your cart. 

This series is for anyone who's ready to learn to sew and wants to learn to sew bags. At then end you will have a great foundation of skills under your belt and will be ready to branch out to more extensive bag projects. 

Even if you already know how to sew, you can use the first class or two as a re-fresher to warm up for making the more advanced bags. 

Each class is approximately 3 hours
