Boxy Bags are all the rage and once you make one, you’ll understand why! In this fun, technique-filled serger class, you’ll create a structured, lined zippered bag complete with crisp mitered corners, a loop tab on one end, and a handle on the other for easy carrying. These bags are perfect for toiletries, cosmetics, sewing supplies, travel essentials, gifts, and so much more. Just change the fabrics and they’re great for guys too! We will be warming up your serger skills with a small companion hidden-zipper bag while learning valuable construction tips and techniques that make bag-making easy and professional-looking. Along the way, you’ll gain confidence working with zippers, linings, fusible batting or fleece, and precision finishing techniques all on your serger.

 

The construction tips alone are worth the class! Once you learn these methods, you’ll want to make boxy bags in every size, shape, and fabric combination imaginable. Stylish, practical, and addictive to make, these bags are guaranteed to become a favorite!

 

Have you never used a serger before? NO Problem!

Are you a serger whiz – You will love it!
