Expanding Boxy Craft Case

After much excitement over Helen’s zipped case, we are now having a day to draft and sew your own! Named the ‘Expanding Boxy Craft Case’, this essential item of your bag collection will give you lots of space to carry all sorts of items!

Helen will guide you through drafting your own pattern for the zipped case and then help you construct your bag using fat quarters and half meter pieces. The bag will be padded with fusible fleece and quilted to add structure and interest.

The construction of this bag enables you to make maximum use of the space inside and you will learn how to insert a continuous zip so as to make the opening the maximum amount.

Enjoy learning some new skills, expand your bag pattern drafting skills and spending time with like minded crafters.
