Sew the Retreat Bag during this 1 day class!

Small

Large 

Difficulty Level: Suited to a beginning bag maker, or a beginner to intermediate sewer just starting to make bags. You know the basics of using your sewing machine, such as threading it, winding a bobbin, and sewing straight lines. 

Tools Required: A rotary cutter, mat and gridded rulers are needed in class. We will have some available to use, or you can bring your own. You must have your own basic sewing supplies, a sewing machine with a zipper foot. 

Pattern Required: A download link will be emailed to you immediately after your class signup. NOTE: The complete kits we sell do have the pattern included. 

Guidelines:

• Sewers must bring their own sewing machine, all materials, and equipment.
• Cutting table, ironing station, coffee and tea will be available.
• Class is between 9:00 am & 2:30 pm, with flexible break around 11:00. Bring a snack! You are welcome to sew on your own through the break if you choose to. Microwave available.
  
• If we don't have our class minimum 2 weeks before class, the class will be cancelled and fees refunded.
• There is no class prep for this class, other than to collect your supplies. We can help you with your class supplies in the shop!
• There are no refunds on classes if you can't attend, but if you let us know at least 14 days before the class, we can issue you a store credit. If you let us know you can't make it, we will see if we have someone on the waiting list. 
• If any questions pop up, you can email us at service@emmalinebags.com.

SEWING MACHINE RENTALS:

We have 8 x bernette 08 Straight Stitch sewing machines for rent during Sewcial Sewing days and classes. These are high speed, heavy duty mechanical machines, equipped with an extension table. They work wonderful for bag making, and although they are powerhouse machines, they are not "industrial", making them very easy to use. Just thread and stitch! (Note: They are only straight stitch machines. Brief threading and usage instructions will be provided if required.) 

Included with rental: 

• Extension Table 
• 1 x Standard Straight Stitch Foot
• 1 x Zipper Foot (Other feet available upon request)
  
• 2 x Bobbins
• Screwdriver 

Requirements:

Needle not included. Only to be used with a thread weight of Tex 45 or under. Use with Highspeed (HLx5) needles or any home sewing needle system (130/705 H), such as Schmetz needles. These are all sold in our shop.
