About a Sewing Class and a Tote Bag

Last year, when I participated in a yarn crawl, I discovered Fabric Bliss, an adorable yarn and fabric store located in the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver.

I was only interested in Fabric Bliss' yarn back then, but now that I have a budding interest in sewing I decided to pop in and check out their fabric and their sewing classes.  I'm so glad that I did!

I ended up signing up for their Intro to Sewing class and making the reversible tote bag pictured above. Isn't it awesome?  It's so perfect for toting around my knitting projects.

I seriously loved every part of the class.  I loved picking out my fabric because there were so many fun prints to choose from.  I loved learning how to wind the bobbin and thread the machine so that I can be an independent sewist who knows how to do that sort of thing.  I loved our teacher, Jackie, who was patient and nice and explained everything clearly.  And I loved all my classmates who were just as eager and nervous as I was.  Here we all are with our finished bags:

I had such a great time at this class and I learned so much that I can't wait to sign up for another one.  I'm thinking about doing the Hem your Pants class because pants never fit me or maybe the Zippers Made Easy class so that I can start sewing more serious things like dresses.

If you could take a sewing class, which one would it be?

I still can't get over the fact that I made such a professional looking bag.  It even has gussets! And I know what gussets are now!  Nailing it.
