Making Bags Book Club - from Sallie Tomato



This 6 month club will walk you through an introduction to bag making and builds upon your skill each month. You will create 5 new projects designed to accomplish building your skills and confidence. The first class will be lecture demo and the 5 remaining classes you will need machines and supplies as you will be creating 5 different style bags.   This is a great class to get involved in whether you are a novice and just getting started or want to start creating bags or if you are seasoned but learned by the trial and error method.

This club will use the Making Bags: A Field Guide book by Jess Barrera of Sallie Tomato.
