Two class sessions: Tuesdays, January 14th and 28th , 10am-3pm both days Noodlehead bag patterns are very popular due to their cut above level of sophistication and excellent instructions. The Compass Bag is a perfect example! Join us to create one for yourself or as a welcomed gift. This attractive bag pattern can be made in two sizes: Large (11 1/2 wide x 13 high x 5 deep) or Small (9 1/2 wide x 11 high x 4 deep). It features an interior zipper pocket and divided slip pocket, along with the options of an adjustable crossbody strap or fixed length shoulder strap and exterior slip pockets or cargo pockets with flaps. There is a center seam on the bag front and back that provides the fun opportunity to vary your exterior fabrics, as we did on our shop sample. This class will include tips and methods for achieving professional looking topstitching, how to prevent a baggy lining, installation of magnet closures and constructing a rectangular bag base (it is easier than you think). We will also cover optional rivet placement and instructor will have a rivet press and rivets in class to practice with and use on your bag, if you wish. This is an advanced beginner to intermediate bagmaking class and it is helpful if you have previously worked with zippers and bag thicknesses.

Do you have so many UFOs that you have lost count? Could you use a little structure, discipline or encouragement to get yourself back on track? Have you lost motivation or hit a stumbling block which is keeping you from making progress? If you have answered YES to any of the questions I have asked, then please pack up your WIPs (works in progress) and come sew for the day without distractions or interruptions! We will meet once a month. Sign up for one session or as many as you need!

Do you have a Quiltworx project that you want to finish or need help finishing or just need some sewing time to work on it? This is the class for you. Dig that project out of the closet, out from under the bed and join Susan in Quiltworx Bootcamp. Susan will help you get going again or over the hump that made you put your project away. (This is NOT a learn how to do a Quiltworx paper piecing class).
