This project needs a standard sewing machine capable of doing straight stitches. The venue will have a few loaner machines to share. You may bring your own if you live locally. Please be familiar with using a sewing machine.
The instructor will have two sewing machines available for class use.
 

All those photos on your phone; favorite times with friends & family, spectacular garden flowers, your first prized tomato, cherished pet(s), cooking masterpieces, stunning sunrises & sunsets and more . . . what to do with them?  Let’s stitch a Treasured Memory Bag© honoring a cherished remembrance using several of those photos that have been languishing on your photo stream. Not only do these bags commemorate something special, they are also incredibly handy for: storing yarns, organizing small trinkets, holding a gift, even corralling colored pencils, pens and a travel journal.
