Difficulty Level: Beginner

Sew With SCRAP: Lined Drawstring Pouch!

Build on your ability to operate a home sewing machine, learn new skills, and apply them to a new beginner-level project, a custom, cute drawstring pouch! This pouch is fully lined with a flat, "boxed-out" bottom; it has multiple color customization options throughout its pattern. Finally have that place to store your trinkets, D&D dice, coins, or anything other treasure!

In this workshop, along with building on existing sewing skills, we will:

• Translate pattern measurements to fabric

• Box out the bottom of a bag

• Practice top stitching

• Learn to make and attach a bag lining

• Make a drawstring casing

• Learn POWER of PRESSING!

...and combine all of that into a complete project: your custom drawstring bag!

Lead by sewing nerd Kate (she/her) with SCRAP’s variety of studio sewing machine models. This workshop is a great opportunity to use several styles of different sewing machines before you invest in your own!

For $50, you'll get 3 hours of hands-on instruction!

All tools and materials provided | Ages 16+ (parents must purchase for their children). Students are welcome to bring their own sewing machines.

Location: The new SE SCRAP Education Studio! 619 SE 6th Ave 😊
