Join us for a hands-on quilting workshop where you'll create a beautiful, quilted tote bag -- perfect
for everyday use or as a personalized gift! This class is ideal for those who are comfortable with
basic sewing but want to explore quilting techniques and an introduction to bag making.
In this class, you'll learn:
Bag Construction: Learn techniques for adding handles, a zippered lining pocket, boxed corners,
and securing seams with shadow stitching.
Quilting Patterns: Experiment with simple quilting patterns to create texture and a unique design to
your bag.
Sewing with Stability: Learn about different types of interfacing and gain skills in working
interfaced fabrics for a sturdy and long-lasting bag.
By the end of the workshop, you'll walk away with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind quilted tote bag,
completed with a zipper pocket, ready to use or gift! Plus, you'll have the knowledge to continue
making your own quilted bags and other projects at home.
