Bag Series: Birdie Sling



Join us for a 2-week session to make the fabulous Birdie Sling by Amy Butler!  This modern sling bag is perfect for advanced beginner to intermediate level sewists.  It's great for large, vibrant prints that just need to be shown off!

This bag is great for everyday use - it's large enough to use for a pool or beach day, easily storing your towel, favorite book and water bottle.  Or bring it with you on your daily errands like visiting the farmer's market or grocery store. 

This class is suitable for advanced beginner to intermediate level students.  Prior bag making experience is recommended; ideally, students will have successfully sewn at least one bag to completion prior to attending this class.  Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.

For a quick overview of how to use our classroom Janome machines, sign up HERE for a one-time Adult Beginner Workshop to learn how to thread and sew with our machines and make a draw string bag! (Not required for this class, but helpful to familiarize yourself with our machines or if you are a total newbie at sewing!)
