The "Swim Along Crossbody Bag" with McLane of DreamThief Studio
The "Swim Along Crossbody Bag" by Madison Moore is the perfect whimsical accessory that can be customized to any discerning taste. In this two session class you will be guided through the steps to create and customize your very own fish and walk away with a new bag and the pattern and power to make MORE. This class is a fantastic stash buster and is the most fun when playing with scraps. Bring your own or rummage through the supply at Craft Raccoon (photo example by dreamthiefstudio.com used scraps from the store!) Students should be comfortable reading and assembling a pattern with some guidance as well as comfortable on a sewing machine. Experience with bag making or zippers a plus.
