About this Event
What a wonderful gift to give yourself or a loved one! Learn how to make a waxed canvas tool roll in this three-hour class. You will cut fabrics from a provided pattern with a cutting mat and rotary cutter, learn how to sew thick/stiff fabric, become a pro at installing grommets or snaps, and learn how to customize the pattern for future tool rolls.
Your tool roll can accommodate different types of tools, such as small hand tools, sewing tools, bicycling tools, crochet hooks, knitting needles, art supplies, pens, notebook, mending supplies, etc. We will start with a basic pattern that you can adjust to fit the tools you want to organize and carry with you.All supplies provided.
The skill level for this class is advanced beginner or intermediate sewists. In order to take this class, the instructors require that you already be able to confidently thread a machine, wind a bobbin, adjust stitch lengths, sew straight, change sewing feet and back tack.
