Beginning Serger Class
The Stitching Post West
October 17th, 2014
10:30-1:00

Sharene Anderson will be teaching our Beginning Serger Classes. She is a sewing, beginning quilting, serging teacher, and Project Linus coordinator for the Moore group.  She believes with a serger and sewing machine you can make anything! Please join her at any or all locations, and learn to make your serger your BFF!

This Friday our Serging class at the West store (10:30 a.m.) is making the six fat quarters tote bag.  The supplies and the precutting instructions are listed below.  Please precut the fat quarters to the correct size if you can before class; if not, you can do it in class.  Precutting will help to ensure we can finish (hopefully) in one class.

This is a fun project that makes a very useful tote that can carry all your supplies AND a quilt you may be working on!

Google six fat quarters bag if you want to see the pattern.  It is on allfreesewng.com.
See you Friday!
