Clam Up Beginning Bag Making Class with Chanova Alcala-Mabry



Let's make an easy and fun project! These bags are perfect for storing and carrying makeup, sewing supplies, tech gear, and more. Double-slide zippers and handy grab tabs make the bags easy to open wide, and attached side panels prevent contents from falling out. We will learn how to install a zipper and bind a bag using optional hardware.

Supply list and class direction will make the Medium size bag, which is the most versatile "Goldilocks" size. Refer to the back of the pattern for other size supply requirements.
