Bag it....

Saturday was the Saunter Satchel class that Velina was teaching. Five gals and five fantastic bags! Here are four out of the five bags they made. One of the students had "Grandma babysitting duties", so we didn't get a picture of Alicia's before she left, but we'll add it later - ok? (Remember, you can "click" on the pictures and get an enlarged view!)

I'm going to start with a picture of the class. Then you'll see Clara's bag that she made using one of our wool fabrics and some great silver embellishing! That is one of the fun things Velina does with this class. She brings her boxes of wonderful embellishing threads and generously lets her students have a good time playing with the bag as a "canvas" for embellishment!

The next one here is Karen's - don't you love the way the blue just sets off the print? I'll apologize right now for the quality of these pictures. The bags look better in person! And I'm not sure if you can tell, but they have handles and a tubular frame that opens.

After Karen's is Linda's. She claims to be our beginner sewer, but she's going to have a hard time convincing anyone of that after she shows them this great bag she made! I'm not sure if she's going to keep it, or give it to some fortunate person!

And then, here's Carolyn's - just replaced the picture (Tuesday night) - hope this is a better one! She did a great job and had some fun as you can see with some embellishing threads she picked up at Sew Expo.

So...that was a very fun day at Fab-Etc. Like we say - "Our classes are FUN!" Stay tuned for more fabric fun too! Who knows what great things may arrive via UPS or FedEx tomorrow!?!

Yes, you can still see the top of my desk! How many days does it take to make a new "habit"?
