These transparent bags are so practical! You can quickly see which project is calling it home, while the zipper opening makes it easy to add or remove items. Speaking of zippers.

Please join us as we explore the joy of sewing and make some cool stuff! You may not exactly hug your sewing machine, but you will play with fabric and color, connect with kindred sewers, and make something beautiful for yourself or others. Challenge yourself to learn new skills and strengthen your personal style, all while we cheer each other on.

Please don’t be intimidated; the technique we will use is new-sewer friendly.
