| Description | Sam and I decided to take a class together at the Sewing Arts Center which would show us how to make a "Paradise Bag." We leaned abut magnetic snaps, purse feet, boning, and a bunch of other sneaky tricks of the bag making trade. Watch out Kate Spade, we are gunning for you! |
Sam took to it naturally and was actually the first one finished, and her bag was immaculate. Of course, she did grow up in a sewing sweat shop.
Our instructor, Russell, was also great. The class was fun and full of good ideas and helpful tricks. I would heartily recommend this class, or any of their classes, to people who wanted to improve their techniques and have a good time at it.
The Paradise bag was fun because we got to combine three different patterns. Some people went complimentary, but I wanted three very different things that just kind of worked. At least I thought that they did. Then we learned how to layer fusing and structural components to give our bag structure and tailoring.
