Make a Zipper Bag With Your Handwoven Material
About Make a Zipper Bag With Your Handwoven Material
We know you all have containers of leftover handwoven fabric just waiting for some inspiration. Learn how to make useful bags using remnants of handwoven fabric with complementary lining material and a zipper! This is a hands-on virtual workshop.
Along with the instructions and material list that you will receive in advance of the virtual workshop, you will need an iron and sewing machine at the ready. Our goal is to have each of you make one zipper bag together.
This class is limited to 25 students.
