Bag of the Month
November 7th
Zippy Bag
This month I’m teaching my Bag of the Month class a bit early. Sorry! I’ll be out of town, there’s Thanksgiving week and then my first grandchild will be born sometime at the end of the month so… our date is November 7th. It was a really fun one to make. I was so pleased the front zipper pockets came together quite nicely. Here goes another fun bag!
Bring to Class:
Your sewing machine in good working order, a new 90 topstitch needle, marking pen/pencil that will disappear, tool to measure ¼’ and ½” seams, snip scissors, fabric cutting scissors, strongpins, and any tools you usually use to sew with.
Purchase:
____ Bag of the Month Class Fee $35.00 (Remember after paying for the class you get 15% off any supplies for
the class that you purchase at our shop.)
____ 3 zippers (14” or longer)
____ coordinating thread
____ 1/3 yard - Contrast Fabric A for strap and exterior gusset
