You will be cutting and sewing together your own bags to use at events to carry wallets, phones, glasses, cameras...all those mundane things we need to have handy at events but rarely have a good way to hide. Students will need to bring $3. Fabric for the bags will be provided. The fabric will be enough to make a bag in class and take the pieces home for a second bag. You will also need to bring 2 yards of a trim (should not be mostly 'white' , color is needed here) to embellish the bag. If you don't have access to a trim, I will have a few with to chose from for an extra fee. There will be a signup at troll for this class for the first 6 people who are interested. </FONT></P>
