ByAnnie Retreat Ready Class
Got a retreat on the calendar or just dreaming of one where you arrive organized instead of tossing notions into a tote at the last second? The ByAnnie Retreat Ready Workshop is here to get your sewing supplies stitched, zipped, and seriously sorted before you roll out the door!
In this fun, flexible three-part series, you’ll make one (or more) of three ByAnnie retreat favorites: Tools of the Trade, Ruler Wrap, or Project Bags 2.0. Each project is designed to keep your essentials in line. Think rulers that aren’t sliding around, tools that have a home, and projects that travel without turning into a tangled mess of “I’ll deal with that later.”
Come ready to sew, swap tips, and laugh your way through the layers. You’ll leave with a retreat-ready essential or two that prove your supplies can travel better than you do and look good doing it!
Class time is 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
You’ll need to purchase your pattern, 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.

| 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. |
