Machine Sewing: Tote Bag with Pocket

DESCRIPTION

ONLY SIX SPOTS AVAILABLE!

Come sew a patchwork tote with Azadi Folk School! You’ll have two experienced instructors to guide you through the process so that you can leave with a finished product. We will be using the Matchy Matchy Sewing Club Stash Pocket Tote pattern, and you’ll leave with the large printed pattern so you can make this again and again at home!

In this class, you’ll leave with a tote bag you’ve made yourself, with a pocket for stashing books or anything else you fancy!

Class Difficulty: This is a class for confident beginners. We will teach how to thread your machine and do straight stitch, back stitch, and zig-zag stitches for stabilizing frayed seams. If you have no experience with a machine, that’s ok, we’ll teach you and you’ll get the hang of it!

What You'll Learn:

How to cut out and follow a pattern

Basic quilt piecing

Basic topstitching

How to sew a pocket

How to install a lining and straps

Class Fee: The cost of instruction and materials for this class is $75. This includes use of sewing machines, fusible interfacing, thread, fabric scissors, and all our other tools, as well as a large formatted printed pattern.
