Intermediate Craft Sewing - Violet Backpack



The backpack is super functional and stylish!  It's perfect for carrying all your necessities. Small enough to be a purse, or used for a small child. You will learn techniques to make handbags, as well as putting in a zipper and recommended notions to make your bags look professionally made!  You can quilt the fabric for an amazing effect and to create more body for the backpack.  The backpack includes a front zippered pocket and inside slip pockets and adjustable straps to fit anyone. Finished bag size: 11" x 9" x 4".  This is a 2-part class and you can expect to have homework between sessions in order to complete, as well as extra time if you would like to quilt your fabric before making the backpack.  Pattern and kit will be provided!  We will use our newest gorgeous Linen Mochi from Figo! 




Choose from our pre-made kits or from newest, gorgeous Figo Linen Mochi collection, our pre-made kits.  Each kit includes all of the notions (zipper, D-rings, etc) and Annie’s soft & stable to make your creation. 




Students can expect to complete the bag on the completion of class, but expect to do homework between sessions! Also allow extra time if you chose to quilt your own fabric.

Learn about bag construction techniques, how to place a zipper and how to make the most of interfacings & bag notions for a professional look! 
Make your perfect backpack in this fun, educational class!
