Time: 9:30am setup for a 10am start, finishing at 2:30pm
Focus: Sewing bags on your home sewing machine.
In this workshop we will be using applique to decorate the outside of a bag which will retain its shape with the use of bag stiffener. Finished with a scalloped edge and decorative handles, the tote has a magnetic closure and inserted sides, which can be cut in a feature or decorative fabric. Different applique templates will be provided in the workshop, and you are encouraged to bring a design if you wish – but keep it simple if you want to get on with the bag construction inside the workshop time! The construction lends itself to adding pockets if you wish. It is a bag you will want to make again once you master the techniques in this workshop!
Level of skill required for this workshop: Suitable for all interested sewists. Being familiar with your machine; knowing how to thread it, change the bobbin, stitches, and the presser foot; is important.
This workshop will develop the following skills:
• Preparing and organising materials.
• Applique – three different methods will be discussed, and you will choose the one you prefer.
• Inserting a magnetic closure.
• Using bag stiffener and sewing through the layers.
• Sewing a scalloped edge.
A link to the materials list will be sent in your acknowledgement email.
