ByAnnie Easy Does It Bag Class
Come join us for an intro into ByAnnie bag making! In this class we will be making one of ByAnnie's Basics, the Easy Does It. This pattern is intended to strengthen your understanding of ByAnnie techniques and best practices, preparing you to confidently create any ByAnnie pattern.
The pattern is free, but you will need to purchase your fabrics and notions ahead of time and have everything quilted, cut out and the pieces labeled prior to class to make the most of class time.
Class time is 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm.

| Instructor: | Cassie Blanchard |
| Instructor Bio: | Cassie turned into a full-blown quiltaholic in 2020. In early 2023 she made her first ByAnnie bag and it was love at first zipper. Since then, she’s been hooked and now speaks fluent "ByAnnie" complete with the pattern stash and borderline-out-of-control fabric situation to prove it. She believes that bringing bags to life, one stitch at a time is basically a superpower and that every sewist needs a pretty seam ripper, a label that says “I made this,” and the emotional resilience to wrestle thick seams in their toolbox. In her class, you can expect ByAnnie pattern translation (if you know, you know), helpful tips, a dash of sass, and lots of encouragement. Whether you’re new to bag making or already dangerously close to needing a storage unit for your creations, Cassie is here to make the process fun, fearless, and just the right kind of addicting. |
