The Compass Bag Class



Best for: Sewists who know the basics but want to learn hardware, zippers, and professional finishing.

Tone: Technical, inspiring, and skill-focused.

Description: Ready to take your sewing skills to the next level? Join us for a deep dive into professional bag making. In this class, we will move beyond simple totes and create a structured, zippered crossbody bag. We will focus on the details that distinguish a "homemade" bag from a "handmade" one—precision topstitching, high-quality hardware, and structural interfacings.

What You Will Learn:

  • Zipper Installation: Conquer your fear of zippers with our fail-safe installation method.

  • Hardware: How to install D-rings, swivel hooks, and magnetic snaps.

  • Strap Making: Create an adjustable strap using slide adjusters.

  • Fabric Handling: Tips for sewing through thick layers and bulky seams without breaking needles.

$42 cost includes pattern. Fabric and hardware sold separately.
