Finished bag measurements: 8x10x4
Basic sewing supplies: scissors, ruler, seam ripper, chalk marker, pins, hand sewing needle, thimble etc
You may bring a rotary cutter and board, but it is easier with a pair of scissors.
Sewing machine cleaned and oiled, sewing machine manual, extra needles, tool used to replace needles, extension cord
Pen and paper
Batiks make a lovely bag, but any fabric will work. I caution using upholstery fabric, if you have not sewn with it before. Might be great for the second bag.
Thread to match fabric
¼ yard for handles
1/2 yard for pockets
2/3 yard for bag and lining
2 cotton batting pieces 11x15 inches
1 hair elastic to complement fabric—this is the closure
1 inch button
If the fabric is laundered, use spray starch when iron so the crispness will be restored.
