Bag Class- Kit Supply Tote
Monday, May 3rd
4:00pm-7:00pm
$45 includes kit with fabric, zipper, handles (belting, not leather), Soft & Stable
Must purchase pattern at payhip.com/comfortstitching

This class was designed for those participating in the Knit B.O.M and therefore includes the kit. If you don't want to do it in the fabric shown, it is not the class for you. The bag has pockets aplenty inside, and is the perfect size to carry one or two projects that are in the works. The separating zipper means the bag opens all the way up so you can see all that is inside.
