$99.99
SKU:
Whether your customers are just starting their sewing journey, or are seasoned bag makers, our Making Bags Book Club is a great way to build their confidence in bag making. During this six-part club series, they'll learn the foundational knowledge of bag making, explore new materials, techniques, and make 5 skill-building projects. By now, hopefully, your customers feel prepared to tackle a more challenging style of bag and put their knowledge to the test. This handbag has been designed to make a sophisticated statement every day. The convenient side pockets give easy access to small essentials, and the roomy interior secured with a zipper closure provides space for larger items.
With this project, build skills in fabric preparation, adding shape, creating handles, assembling pleated side pockets, adding an interior slip pocket, installing an interior zipper pocket, attaching a base, assembling a bag with a zipper closure, and adding optional hardware and embellishments.
