Introduction Class - The Drawstring Bag
This two hour long single session class is designed for you to learn the basics of sewing machine usage and to leave the studio with a finished piece you can be proud of. The first half of this class will cover sewing machine usage and maintainence, as well as fabric and thread types and their usage.
The second half of this class is dedicated to creating a large drawstring bag. This bag is made from two rectangular cuts of fabric, featuring only straight lines in its construction. You will have plenty of room to include your own embellishments and details, such as optional pockets, decorative stitching, and trim.
Materials
Please let me know beforehand if you will not be able to provide the following materials yourself. The fee for materials is $14. This fee covers the following materials:
- Ribbon of your choice. Preferably between 3/4" and 1 1/2" in width.
- Medium weight woven fabric. Quilter's cotton is recommended, as there are a wide variety of colors and patterns to choose from. At least 1/2 yd. PLEASE do not purchase a Fat Quarter, as it will not be enough fabric for this project.
- Spool of thread in a matching color. I recommend Gutermann Sew-All thread.
Optional supplies for embellishment will be discussed prior to class.
