April 10, 2018 Kristi’s Bag Makers: Caravan Tote
Join Kristi and your fellow bag makers for an evening of sewing a fun tote bag. Homework will be required in that you should have you bag cut out and interfacing applied prior to the class. Kristi uses SF 101 interfacing on essentially every bag piece, including the lining. This is usually IN ADDITION to fusible fleece or soft and stable.
Kristi will provide an overview of the pattern and her tips and tricks for making the bag. We will then spend the rest of the evening sewing. Feel free to prepare pieces you feel comfortable preparing (handles, pockets, etc.). Each month the focus will be on a new technique.
This month, we will be creating the Caravan Tote – pattern by Noodlehead and you will have the option to create the pouch also included in the pattern. This is a fabulous tote bag. This month the techniques we will focus on using will be working with a cork accent. We will also learn or review rivet techniques, using bag feet, and talk about using alternate bag handles.
Quilter’s Haven will have the Caravan Tote Patterns – please purchase when you register and pay for the class. You will need the materials listed on the pattern (remember if you are using directional fabric, allow a little extra). You will also need pattern trace if you do not wish to cut apart your pattern.
Prior to class, you should trace your pattern pieces, cut them out and fuse SF101 to each of your pieces. If you want to wait to cut your cork, you may until class.
So – Come Join Kristi and have fun with your fellow Bag Makers doing what we love to do – MAKE BAGS!!!
