Hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving Holiday! I mentioned in a previous post about a purse class I will be having the 2nd Saturday of December...December 14th, beginning at 9:00 a.m. This will be to make the Steel Ball purse. This purse pattern is quick and relatively easy. I showed Margaret how to make it a week ago Saturday, and she spent all week making presents for families and friends, so I think I can safely say it is addictive, as well! The cost of the class is $25 per person. We will be making one complete purse in class, so when you leave you will have completed the pattern from start to finish. There are so many ways you can make this and individualize it to the people you want to make it for....it really is loads of fun. Another great thing about this purse is the ability to change it according to your style, season, etc. The way the handle is constructed, you can make a new bag and slip it onto the same handle. It also comes in two sizes, the smaller one that I have been using all year and the pictures below show the larger one. The cost of the pattern is $8.00 per pattern (there is a separate pattern for the larger and the smaller bag). The cost of the handles are $14.95 + tax for the smaller and $16.95 + tax for the larger. The handles come in three color variations, polished silver, antique silver and antique bronze. Here are some pictures of the bags Margaret made last week (these are all the larger bag except for the pink chevron pattern bag, which is the smaller).
In order to make this bag for class, you will need to bring with you, or of course we will have supplies available at the shop to purchase:
Two - 1/2 yard width of fabric of coordinating prints
1/2 yard of fusible pellon (we have this at the shop)
Handle for the size bag you wish to make
Pattern(s)
We need you to call the shop at (931) 682-3746 and let us know you wish to come to the class. We are requiring a prepayment of the class fee in order to hold your spot. I will be getting some more handles in before class so we will have a wide variety for you to choose from. You have until December 11th to sign up for this class. If I don't have at least three people wanting to the take the class by the 11th, I am going to have to cancel the class. I know there are several ladies who have wanted to take this class and each time I have scheduled it in the past, the timing hasn't been right, so I sincerely hope this will work with everyone's schedule!
Ya'll have a great week, and I'll see you down at the shop soon!
