In this 1.5 hour live class, I'll teach you how to sew a boxy washbag with a zip. I'll share lots of hints and tips along the way to help your sewing skills progress. And we'll touch on quilting, in case you'd like to make a quilted washbag like in the picture.
>>You will be sent a video of the workshop afterwards, so you can watch it back in your own time following the session. <<
