round up bag

Description

Skill Level: Intermediate

Class Date: Saturday, July 25 – 10:30am-2:30pm

Round Up is a simple bucket bag with handles and a drawstring closure at top. When the drawstrings are tightened, the bag takes on a round shape at the top… hence the name! This bag makes a great project bag for crafters of all levels. The pattern includes two sizes, however in class we’ll be making the large bag.

This class is suitable for intermediate students who have prior bag making experience. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
