Join us for a one day workshop to make a large quilted bag using By Annie’s pattern ‘Zip it Up 2.0’! Hone your skills with quilting with Soft & Stable foam and working with mesh and vinyl and zippers to create this fabulous and handy bag.
The Zip It Up! 2.0 organizer bags feature zippers inside and out. An outer zippered closure provides security and allows the bag to open flat for easy access. Outer quilted pockets on front and back hold electronic devices and larger items. Inside are a combination of single and double pockets made of vinyl or mesh for greater visibility of contents. Elastic straps in the center add an extra layer of organization, perfect for storing accessories or gadgets.
Sponsored by Lala and Mer, instructor Tiffany Harwood will demonstrate and lead us through the process of construction. Lala And Mer co-owners, Meredith Potter and Laura Alvstad will be there to assist. This will be a six hour workshop with a half hour for lunch (bring your own brown bag lunch).
