In the Hoop Crossbody Bag
2025-09-26 10:00 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
This useful Crossbody Bag will be made entirely in the embroidery hoop. It comes in four different quilted designs: diamond, vertical, square, stipple and a finished size 5.6” W x 8” H. The files for each quilted design have separate files for #3 and #5 zippers. In class we will be using the #3 size zippers that will be included in a kit. The inside is fully lined and added tabs with “D” rings for the long strap to attach using swivel clasp hooks.
The minimum size hoop required is 6” x 10”. The design collection must be purchased from “Creative Applique”, which is a downloaded digital file. If you need help, please let me know. This is an intermediate level project.

Strip Piece Applique Towels

Spring has arrived! This is a great time to create these beautiful towels to display in your home at this time of year.
You will be creating your applique fabric by choosing fabrics in pastels or coordinating colors to complement your home. The strips will be made by running through a bias tape maker as you press with an iron. The pressed strips will then be placed side by side and pressed to a fusible interfacing and using a decorative stitch will be sewn down between the strips for an added feature. This new fabric that has been created will then be used as the fabric for the applique heart, shamrock, egg, bunny or the “Made with Love” heart. The five designs will be complimentary at the time of class with a value of $25.00.
Four designs require a 5″ x 7″ hoop, but the “Made with Love” heart will need a 6″ x 10″ hoop.
The towel can be purchased at the time of class, or you may bring a towel you may already have.
The class has limited seating available.

This month, I will be demonstrating how fast and easy it is to make a Sew Simple Wallet, a by Annie pattern. This pattern has three pocket versions, one, two and three. They are perfect to carry cash, credit cards, loyalty cards, coupons and more. The single pocket version is great to tuck a gift card in for someone special. For the flap closure I’ll be showing the By Annie’s Tool-Free Snaps, that are the newest sewing notion that makes installing a snap. No more pliers, hammers or sewing needle and thread needed. There will also be other project samples that are quick and useful that use these incredible snaps.
Be sure to place this date on your calendar and please bring a show and tell to share with others.
