Do you have a sewing machine, but don't know how to use it? Don't feel confident using it? Have questions about specific functions? Or would like more guidance? Then this would be a great class for you!

We will be making a simple lined drawstring bag (pattern by Jeni Baker) that will allow us to learn about different stitches, attachments, tension, proper way to wind a bobbin and more. Plus you will learn basic sewing construction for a fully lined drawstring bag. You will be required to bring your own machine, we have a very limited amount of machines on hand currently. This will most likely change for future classes.

Tools For You to Use:
- Scissors
- Rotary Cutters
- Cutting Mat
- Quilting Rulers
- Bodkin

Supplies Provided For You to Take Home/Use in Your Project:
- Thread (neutral light grey)
- Sewing Machine Needle
- Drawstring Cording (in several colors)
- A Seam Ripper

Supplies Needed:
- Three different quilting weight cotton fabrics - 1 fat quarter of each OR 1/4th yard of the two outside fabrics and 1/3rd yard of the lining.
- A sewing machine (bring all the accessories and manual if you still have them)
- Optional - 40wt or 50wt cotton thread of you don't like light grey

If you have any questions or would like suggestions on what supplies to purchase, please email me: jesseesuem@gmail.com
