Join instructor Amanda Kosobud to stitch up The Emerson Crossbody Bag pattern by The Blanket Statement! This pattern is versatile as a belt bag or a crossbody bag. The design of this bag is trendy and functional as it offers a surprisingly spacious interior with a handy slip pocket. In this class, you will learn some basic bag making skills, how to cut a pattern using paper templates, how to install zippers two different ways, and how to work with different types of bag hardware. By the end of this class, you will have a great bag to use for travel or everyday wear!
