ABOUT THE CLASS:
Let's make the Bow-Lora Handbag! The Bow-Lora Handbag combines The Fiona Bag by Izza Zaya and The Valora Handbag by More Me Know (me). Both patterns are included in the cost of the class and will be sent 2 weeks before class start.
There is no pre-cut kit offered for the class. However, if you would like to come Friday before class to cut your bag with guidance you are welcome to at no additional fee. We have one set of templates.
On Saturday, I will one-on-one discuss the structure of your bag and the desired outcome. There will be classroom-use interfacing available for you to use. We will then begin sewing!
You may get the bag done in one day and you are welcome to try to cut out 2!
You can choose to either make the small size or the large size Valora! It is going to be a fun relaxed environment with a go-at your pace learning style.
You are also welcome to opt to not add the Bow to the bag.
