This pattern, designed by Janelle MacKay for Emmeline Bags is an enhancement to a simple zipper pouch. The bag has a wide base and wide opening which stays open for easy access. This bag can be used as a make-up or toiletry bag, a sewing bag or just about anything you can imagine.
The bag comes in two sizes, we will be making the standard small bag, but additional finishing options will be discussed – I know you will want to make more!
This class is suitable for a beginner who is confident with using a sewing machine.
Finished bag measures: 8.5” L, 5” H, and 4” W.
I will email the link to download the pattern and instructions on which steps to complete prior to class a few weeks prior to class.
