In this workshop, you'll learn to make this excellent and versatile chubby bag, designed by Svetlana Sotak. You'll also get the pattern which includes 4 sizes of bag.
We're making the small bag, which we've found is perfect for lunches, as a purse, a book bag, and a gift!  The bag looks completely different depending on the fabrics and handles you choose so you'll want more than one. 
You'll learn to make handles and Shirley will also demo using webbing or pre-made handles in the construction. 

Details

Difficulty - Confident Beginner - Basic Sewing Skills (you can thread and operate a sewing machine) and are at least 14 years old

Teacher - Shirley Dawson

Supply List - Note - the workshop includes the pattern. You will need to bring your fabric and thread. We have Pfaff Passport sewing machines for your use in the class, if you prefer to bring your own machine, you're welcome to do that instead. Please bring your fabric and sewing kit (scissors, pins, measuring tape, a chalk/pencil, and any tools you like to use when sewing garments.)

The pattern recommends cotton canvas, linen/cotton blends (like Essex), waxed canvas for the exterior, and quilting cotton or cotton/linen blends for the interior. You will also need a yard of interfacing. Shirley used SF101 for hers, but anything similar will work. 

Note - we are capping the class at 6 participants. If we have less than 2 participants, we will cancel the class and refund your full purchase price. Otherwise, workshops are non-refundable. If you cancel with at least a week's notice, we will give you a store credit. If you find you can't make it, with less than one week's notice, you are welcome to send someone in your place, otherwise you will forfeit your spot and the class fee.
