Are you a quilter, embroiderer or a clothes sewist?  Did you ever want to make a bag and were just too intimidated and didn’t know where to start?  Are you worried your machine can’t handle it? Yeah …. Me too.  

I started out quilting, moved to embroidery, and then clothes.  But I watched these awesome sewists on Facebook making all these glorious bags.  And I wanted to do it but I was intimidated, didn’t know where to start, and was scared to death that I would “kill” my machine.  But guess what, I got over my intimidation, jumped in with both feet and my machine is still sewing right along!  

Join me on September 12th and let’s make the Baker Street Bag.  And maybe I can answer some questions you might have about branching out and using other materials …. Not just quilt cotton.
