Beginner Sewing: Ruby Star Society Hexie Bag February 17, 5:30-8pm

Ready to sew something fun and practical? Join us at North Shore Quilting for our February Beginner Sewing class, where we'll be making the adorable Hexie Bag from Ruby Star Society!

With its playful shape and vintage-inspired style, this bag is a fun way to explore sewing beyond the basics. You'll learn how to construct a lined bag, work with fusible stabilizers, sew shaped seams, and attach wooden ring handles to create a bag that's as useful as it is cute.

New to sewing? No problem! This project is suitable for beginners who are ready to build their confidence and learn some new techniques with guidance along the way.

What You'll Learn:

• How to read and follow a simple bag pattern

• Cutting and preparing fabric pieces

• Working with fusible fleece or foam stabilizer

• Constructing and lining a bag

• Sewing curves and angled seams

• Attaching wooden ring handles and finishing your bag

Skill Level: Beginner. No bag-making experience is necessary. This class is appropriate for those learning to sew, but students should be comfortable with the basic operation of a sewing machine.

Fabric & Materials to Bring:

Please bring the following supplies to class:

• 1/2 yard of fabric for the outside of your bag

• 1/2 yard of coordinating fabric for the lining

Your sewing machine, sewing machine foot pedal and power cord, basic sewing supplies (rotary cutter, scissors, pins or clips, thread, etc.), and your selected fabrics and stabilizer.

A Note About Class Time & Policies:

Our beginner sewing classes are designed to help you learn new skills and build confidence at your own pace. Everyone works at a different speed, and completion of the project during class is not guaranteed. You may need additional time at home to finish your bag.

Please review our Class Policies before registering. Class registration is subject to our standard cancellation and refund policies.
