Kristi's Bag Makers for June-Harriet Expandabe Tote


June 6, 2018 – Kristi’s Bag Ladies: Harriet Expandable 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 Harriet Expandable Tote.  This is a mid sized bag. This month we will focus on installing side zippers that allow a bag to convert from a purse to a spacious tote.   We will also talk about the use of cork or leather on bags.

Quilter’s Haven will have the Harriet Expandable Tote pattern – 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).  

Prior to class, you should trace your pattern pieces, cut them out and fuse SF101 to each of your pieces.

You may wish to use leather, vinyl or cork for your accent fabrics. I also added bag feet.

So – Come Join Kristi and have fun with your fellow Bag Makers doing what we love to do – MAKE BAGS!!!
