Let's make a bag with zippers, pockets and hardware! Learn to put in a zipper and work with a bit of leather and cork fabric to create a fun and functional bag. Students will use an instructor-provided pattern for a useful and fun bag, will learn the ins and outs of zipper and hardware installation and how to cut and sew with leather and cork fabrics. You will learn how to access printable patterns, download them and use them for your own bag construction. Students will complete a useful and fun bag to use in class. Materials can be new or repurposed for this class.

I began sewing in my teens and eventually turned my skills into a home based design workroom making custom draperies, slipcovers, soft furnishing, pillows for private clients and designers in making custom draperies, slipcovers, soft furnishing, pillows for private clients and designers in New Jersey. The design aspect of creating useful and artistic items from fabrics and leather has held my interest for years. I have been bag maker as both a hobby and profession for years. Slow fashion and making my own clothes is also something that I enjoy and encourage others to participate in. Repurposing and upcycling are skills that I think everyone should practice and I encourage students to find and give new life to older materials reworked into artistic and utilitarian items. I have lived in Floyd with my husband and two dogs for nine years. I enjoy watercolor painting and gardening along with traveling and fly fishing.
