Join us to make the beautiful Crescentwood Quilted Bag, a fresh, new pattern by The Blanket Statement. This modern crescent-shaped bag is the perfect mix of quilting and bag making, with lots of opportunities to play with color, texture, and quilting details.
In this class, you will learn how to confidently sew curved seams, install a curved zipper (easier than you might think), and work with pattern pieces to build a polished, structured bag. The Crescentwood is a great project for learning new techniques while creating a bag that is both stylish and practical.
We will also explore quilting accents and creative fabric combinations, making this a great opportunity to mix prints, solids, and color palettes to create a bag that feels uniquely yours.
This class is ideal for confident beginners and intermediate sewists who want to expand their bag-making skills while making a modern quilted accessory.

BEFORE CLASS:
Please have your paper templates already cut. If you are printing the pattern out, please ensure that it is printed at 100% scale and carefully read the instructions how the template is to be taped together. We will start class by doing some simple quilting through the exterior, batting and lining fabric, but if you would rather do more dense quilting such as lines 1” apart or crosshatches please bring your fabric already quilted.
