Class: The Merchant and Mills One and a Half Bag with Jenny, starts Tuesday April 1, 5:30-7:30PM (2 sessions)
Join Jenny in sewing the One and a Half Bag!
A marvellous oversized bag with webbing handles that continue down to the bottom seam and a second horizontal handle position, with the potential to tuck away the larger bag.
Jenny has also adapted the pattern to add a lining to the bag for added structure and for a fun finish!
Class Difficulty: A wonderful class for beginning sewists with some machine experience! We ask that you're able to sew a straight line; back tack; and thread and unjam your machine. If you've never done those things before, check out our Meet Your Machine class first!
