Class: Sew Two Foldable Dopp Kits with Evan, Sunday March 16, 9AM-12PM

In this class, you’ll make two versatile foldable dopp kits— one larger with a hang loop and one smaller, perfect for a small yarn project or toiletries. This beginner-friendly project will guide you through key bag-making techniques to create polished, professional-looking pouches.

What You'll Learn: 

• How to install a zipper 
• Using bias binding to finish zipper ends cleanly
• Constructing a foldable dopp kit in two different sizes
• Professional finishing techniques for a polished look

This class is great for confident beginners who know how to thread their machine, sew straight lines, and back-tack. If you’re new to bag-making or want to expand your skills, this is a perfect next step!

Important: If you’re brand new to sewing (haven't driven or threaded your machine before), we recommend taking one of our beginner classes first, like “Meet Your Machine” or “Reversible Napkins.”

What's Included: 

• Fabric, thread, and nylon coil zippers for both dopp kits 
• Step-by-step instructions to recreate the dopp kits at home (video)

The cost of this class is $100. The cost of instruction is $75 and the materials fee (required) is $25 and includes the patterns, fabric, thread, and zippers. 

What to Bring: 

• Sewing machine with basic accessories (foot pedal, power cord, bobbin, etc.). Bringing your own machine is encouraged, but studio machines are available—please reach out to info@lakemakerie.com to reserve one after you register for class. Machines are limited. 
  
• A Zipper Foot! This is the most important thing to remember to bring along. It will be crucial to the sewing process!
• Optional: Any sewing tools you love using!
