Sewing Basics: Patchwork Zipper Pouch

Back to school season is the perfect time to sew this adorable Patchwork Zipper Pouch! This is a great class for the beginning seamstress who is comfortable setting up and threading a sewing machine. Students will create a simple patchwork design for the front of their pouch, then Michelle will cover using interfacing for stability, inserting a zipper, and lining your bag.

While prior sewing experience is not required to take this class, you must be comfortable threading and operating a sewing machine. Don't know how to use a sewing machine? Take our Sewing Machine Basics class!
