Bag of the Month Plover Pouch by Noodlehead

In time for Valentine gift giving, for yourself or someone else (filling with chocolate is optional) the Noodlehead Plover Pouch pattern makes an adorable bag! It comes in three size options, and you may choose to make any size in class. They all feature interior mesh pockets, and the medium and large sizes also have interior zipper pockets.

If zippers cause you pause, the exterior zipper installation is unique and you may find it easier than the standard way. In addition to working with zippers, skills you will practice in this class include creating mesh pockets with fold-over elastic, using various stabilizers, negotiating curves and how to iron your bag during and after construction for a professional and polished look.

This is a beginner/advanced beginner bagmaking class. Please review the pattern prior to class and feel free to contact instructor with any questions.

Bring a sack lunch and/or snacks, if you wish.

$35 for the class.
