ByAnnie Clam Up Bag Class
Ready to zip up your organization with something seriously clam-tastic? In this class, you’ll make one (or more) of ByAnnie’s Clam Up zippered pouches, a clever curved zippered design that opens wide and stays open so you can actually see (and reach!) everything inside. No more digging, dumping, or wondering where that one small thing disappeared to, it’s all right there ready when you need it.
Perfect for sewing supplies, travel essentials, makeup, or all those little “I’ll just put this here for now” items, this project is equal parts practical and satisfying. Come ready to stitch, zip, and get a little clam-tastic with your organization. You’ll leave with a Clam Up that proves even the small stuff deserves a well-designed home.
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. |
