Sandhill Sling



Please read the class description all the way through before registering.

The Sandhill Sling is the perfect small bag to serve as your every-day bag or a small bag for traveling! It's large enough to fit all your essentials, while small enough you barely notice having it on you. This bag is a great introduction to more advanced bag making. You'll learn to sew using some hardware, without getting overwhelmed with too many parts and pieces. You can choose to make your bag more structured with batting or foam stabilizer, or use heavier or interfaced fabrics instead.

Level: Confident Beginner 

This bag requires accurate seam allowances, and following unique shapes. Though this is a relatively easy bag, it requires working knowledge of a sewing machine, and confidence in basic sewing skills. Your pattern pieces should be cut out prior to arriving to class or it is unlikely that you will finish the bag in class. 

Price: $105.00
The price of this class includes:
- Up to 7.5 hours of instruction in a small group setting,
- Use of our classroom machines, space, and equipment,
