Bag Making | Nikola Pouch
In this class you will make a gorgeous, shaped belt bag perfect for your own adventures or gifting. The skills taught in this class include: how to sew darts; sewing a lined welt zip; bias binding; and bag hardware installation. Fabric options will be available, however, feel free to bring heavyweight scraps (denim, velvet, canvas) or vinyl. This bag is highly customizable. An alternative to the webbing strap could be repurposing an old belt, or from a bag you no longer use. Thrift stores are full of interesting belts and hardware to harvest from bags!
