Nancy Kessler will be teaching a class on this bag at the September 5th Monday Sew. These are called Grab Bags and you will need two, half yard pieces of fabric to make one bag. (One for the outside and one for the lining.) You will also need thread to match the outside fabric because there is top stitching. There is no cost for this class.
We were happy to have Kayla Crabtree with us at our September meeting. She is the daughter of Nancy Kessler. Kayla and her husband are currently living in Japan.
