Alpen Bag Class, Saturday August 29 from 9 am to 3 pm

Join Rae in the studio to make your very own crossbody bag using the Alpen Bag pattern by Center Street Quilts. The Alpen Belt Bag pattern includes several different sewing skills including basting, quilting, cutting with a rotary cutter and ruler, installing a zipper, making and installing binding using two different methods, working with strapping (webbing) and hardware, and creating boxy corners. 

The Alpen Bag is a quilted zipper pouch that’s easy to wear around the waist or cross-body for both daily use and exciting adventures. The main zipper compartment is perfect for a wallet plus phone, while the two interior slip pockets help keep smaller items contained. 
Finished size is 7" W x 4" H x 2 1/2" D
