In this four-part hands-on class, you will learn how to sew a handy zippered pouch using vintage linens* or re-claimed textiles. These little pouches are useful for cosmetics, sewing tools, eye glasses, pencils, or a dozen other things. And, they make great gifts, particularly when you can say, “I made it myself!” We’ll take a step-by-step approach, and you’ll get all the assistance you need. When the class is over, in addition to your pouch, you will have an instruction sheet and pattern to make more pouches on your own (warning— they’re addicting!). Requirements: -Basic sewing skills -Tools (marked with your name): Portable sewing machine and bobbin Scissors that cut fabric easily Tape measure Seam ripper Bring to the first class: -A vintage linen*: e.g., feed sack, tea towel, dish towel, dresser scarf, table cloth, pillow case, fabric yardage OR -A textile to re-purpose: e.g., jeans, medium-weight shirt/blouse, skirt/dress (no light-weight or sheer fabrics) *If you don't have any vintage linen, the instructor will have an assortment available for purchase the first night of class (additional fee payable to the instructor).
