Bag Club February

Service Description

Welcome to Bag Club. In Bag Club we will learn essential bag sewing techniques including various zipper applications, choosing hardware and hardware installation, design hacks. Two weeks before each Bag Club meeting, I will present a bag pattern that will feature specific techniques. During the club meeting, I will identify and show specific techniques you will need to complete the bag. Along the way, we will learn about ways to individualize our bags with favorite features, such as slip pockets, fabric choices and, yes, interfacing. If there are specific techniques or bags you would like to make, let me know so I can add them to the list. Everyone can practice the techniques in class. You will receive a supply two weeks before the Bag Club session, or when you sign up if it is less than two weeks before the scheduled club meeting. * We will not be making any bag start to finish during Bag Club. Three hours is simply not enough time to make a bag. There are multi-session bag classes scheduled where we will make a bag start to finish. I will be holding UFO (Unfinished Object) sessions where I can help you sew the Bag Club (or any other) project. Hello all, I can't believe that we are just two weeks away from our first Bag Club for 2025. For this first meeting of the year, we will spend some time discussing future plans for the club. I have many ideas but want to make sure I am addressing your questions and providing content you want. I have had several requests to address techniques and strategies for working with heavier and non-fabric materials such as vinyl and cork. I love working with these substrates and combining them with traditional fabrics for bags. I will be demonstrating some key techniques and strategies for successful bags with these materials. I will bring in some patterns that I think you will like. Feel free to bring in any patterns that may be on your wish list. And, of course, bring your show and tell!! I look forward to seeing what everyone is making. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or thoughts. Amanda
