Cross Body Bag in Vinyl, Cork, or Quilter’s Cotton with Leonie Fraser – 13 July 2024

Date: 13 July 2024

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 inserting zippers, installing bag hardware, and exploring how to sew materials that will make our bags have a professional, even glamourous finish.

The top pic is the bag front, and the bottom is the bag back – plenty of pockets on this one! The sample on the left is made from decorative cork fabrics, and the one on the right from faux leather with a quilters cotton trim. If you have ever wanted to try using cork fabric, canvas, faux leather, or microsuede – this is the workshop for you. This bag uses a minimum of material and gives a very effective result. And, of course, it can be made using lightweight upholstery fabric or traditional quilter’s cotton. Why not try both? 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.
