Sam and I decided to take a class togeth= er at the Sewing Arts Center which= would show us how to make a "Paradise Bag." We leaned abut magne= tic snaps, purse feet, boning, and a bunch of other sneaky tricks of the ba= g making trade. Watch out Kate Spade, we are gunning for you!
Sam took to it naturally and was actuall= y the first one finished, and her bag was immaculate. Of course, she did gr= ow up in a sewing sweat shop.
Our instructor, Russell, was also great.= The class was fun and full of good ideas and helpful tricks. I would heart= ily recommend this class, or any of their classes, to people who wanted to = improve their techniques and have a good time at it.
The Paradise bag was fun because we got = to combine three different patterns. Some people went complimentary, but I = wanted three very different things that just kind of worked. At least I tho= ught that they did. Then we learned how to layer fusing and structural comp= onents to give our bag structure and tailoring.
