Class: Sew a Quilted Project Bag with Evan, starts Tuesday May 13, 5:30-8:30PM (2 sessions)

In this class, you’ll make this adorable quilted project bag that Evan drafted himself! This is a great beginner class for sewists who've used their machine before and are looking to learn new skills like quilting and how to install a zipper. 

What You'll Learn: 

• Basic quilting
• How to install a zipper 
• Using bias binding to finish zipper ends and other seams cleanly
  
• Professional finishing techniques for a polished look

Skill Level: 

For this class you need to be able to sew a straight line, back tack, sew a zig zag, thread & unjam your machine, and wind your bobbin. 

Important: If you’re brand new to sewing (haven't driven or threaded your machine before), we recommend taking either our Meet Your Machine class or our Reversible Napkins class first.

• This is a two session class, meeting on Tuesday May 13th and Tuesday May 20th from 5:30-8:30PM

What's Included: 

• Nylon-coil zipper
• Batting 
• Step-by-step instructions to recreate the project bag at home (video)

The cost of this class is $162. The cost of instruction is $150 and the materials fee (required) is $12 and includes the pattern, zipper, and batting.
