This is a intermediate - advanced How to Make A Bag Class

Class Expectations:
This is Part 1 of The Class. You will not complete the bag in this two day time period.
This class will cover how to cut out and label all the parts and pieces of the bag. The goal will be to install at least 1 of the 3 Zippers Included in this bag. We highly recommend for this class that you already have some experience with zippers and bag making.

What's provided in class:
Cutting Stations (However you may want to bring your own)
Ironing Stations


Stand-up totes in two sizes have an easy-to-install zippered top that opens wide for easy access to the contents.

Each Take A Stand tote features an adjustable, detachable carrying strap and plenty of room for supplies and more.

Two zippered pockets on the outside of the tote and two inner mesh pockets keep everything organized and easy to view.

Large: 12-1/2"H x 16"W x 8"D (Size we are making in Class)
