Morning Presentation
PROGRAM
“Bag It Up – TOTE-ally Fun Creations” by Robin Newton & Dea Corns
Dea and Robin have been making bags, totes and purses for several years. They will be sharing some of the creations that they have made and tips and tricks learned from those projects.
Topics will include the various pattern designers, zippers, purse hardware, lining those projects, handles, interfacing, stabilizers, and specialty fabrics – they go way beyond quilting cotton. Also, learn how to make a bag on your longarm. A workshop to make the blue bag below is also going to be offered. Signup will be at the February meeting.
