At some time or another, everyone can use an Extra-Large Bag that will carry everything.  Whether going to the Beach, taking things to class or many other uses.  I am sure this bag will lend itself to many purposes. 

We are going create this bag totally with a serger and a coverstitch machine.  Those without a coverstitch machine will need to use a sewing machine to complete certain steps.

This will be a two-part class.  ($25 each class)

1.     In the first class, we will be cutting out fabric and preparing the individual pieces. 
2.     In the second class, we will be putting everything together.

Supplies Needed.

1.     I used 3 different cotton fabrics.

 #1 = Base Fabric 24”x 19”, Inside Pockets (2pcs) 24” x 11”, Bottom Strip (24” x 6”) & Strap (6” x “85”)

 #2 = Outside Pocket (2pcs) 24” x 11”, & Top strip (24” x 3 ½”)

 #3 = Inside Base (24” x 29”) Fabric, Pocket lining (4pcs 24” x 12)

2.     Bosal Katahdin On-A-Roll Jelly Roll Rug (2 ½” x “85) for Strap.  If you wait to purchase this item, we can share a roll and split the cost.
3.     Floriani Perfect Stick Cutaway stabilizer
4.     Vinyl Mesh 18” x 36” Roll (you do not need until 2^nd Class).  SMP is ordering more colors.
5.     Floriani Polyester Embroidery Thread.  Because this bag needs strength, I used 4 spools of good polyester thread instead of regular 2 ply serger thread.
6.     Serger and Coverstitch in good working order, along with feet and all tools.  (If you do not have a Coverstitch, we will have a couple sewing machines available in class.
7.     Travel Iron, Ironing Mat, and cutting tools.
8.     Plastic clips and pins
9.     Marking tools
