Project: Sewing Basket
Instructor: Bennie Owen
¾ yard for the basket (outer fabric)
7/8 yard for the lining, binding, trim, & pin cushion
Have your fabric pre-pressed with either a spray starch or Best Press, this will make the cutting and sewing easier
Begin the sewing year with this customized and useful sewing basket. Keep your sewing supplies organized at home and when you sew on the go. Incorporate your favorite sewing notions and tools into your custom basket.
This is just the first of ten fun filled meetings utilizing the NEW format. In the beginning of each class, you will view a PowerPoint explaining the club project. Then it is time to get sewing as you work on the project yourself! All sewing machines are welcomed.
