QUILTED RETREAT BAG WORKSHOP
Join Lorena Uriarte, renewed Modern Quilter, to learn how to make this super cute zip pouch featuring your own quilted panels!
Have you been looking for your next zippy pouch project? Something practical to make for friends or to treat yourself. Look no further than the Emmaline Retreat Bag. It’s such a clever pattern, designed by @emmalinebags using their special hardware that opens wide for easy access to the contents of your pouch.
Use up your scraps and make a Kawandi inspired exterior, or maybe you’ve got some Boro or Sashiko or simply Quilted panels you’d like to put to work. A special piece of fabric or orphaned patchwork blocks would also work well. To make the large pouch you’ll need two (2) pieces at least 18.5” x 12” each.
YOU COULD CHOOSE TO DO THE KAWANDI CLASS WITH LORENA ON 18 FEB AND BRING YOUR FINISHED PIECE TO USE FOR YOUR RETREAT BAG!
Kits of the interfacing and frames can be ordered when you book your place here - small is $45 and large $55.
