It’s August and that means school is right around the corner – perfect back pack season! And, perfect for those end of the summer trips.
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 Bugsy Backpack pattern by Sassafras Lane Designs. This is a fun backpack that converts from a smaller sized backpack to a larger bag/tote. This month we will focus on installing hardware and making backpack straps.
Quilter’s Haven will have the Bugsy Backpack Pattern and the Hardware Kit – 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. Don’t fuse if you are using cork or leather.
So – Come Join Kristi and have fun with your fellow Bag Makers doing what we love to do – MAKE BAGS!!!
