Make a lovely make-up bag as a gift for that special someone in our December class. The yarn embellishment foot magically glides over the fabric moving in four directions with the special stitches designed just for this foot. (You downloan them with directions below.) This lined make-up bag will also use an exposed zipper technique and “boxing” corners if you want to learn how to do these sewing methods. Join us in class and have some holiday fun. Class fee is $15.
