Saturday Sew-In Featuring The Betsy Travel Bag

Kristi McDonough of Schnitzel & Boo is some kinda crazy.  Crazy talented that is.  And she's bringing all that mess of hers to The Green Apricot to demonstrate how to make the Betsy Travel Bag.  This bag is perfect- sturdy enough to hold all your junk, but soft enough to squish down, roll up and put away.  I get so tired of trying to find a place to store big empty bags.

And between you and I, this bag scares me to death.  Except Kristi has taught me several skills, even over the phone, and I know I can do this with her direction.  And if I can do it, I know you can!  Zippers, gussets and hardware- she will take you through each step.  I'm a quilter, so I'm not even sure what a gusset is, but I can't wait to learn!

The pattern is available at Rebel Craft Media, and there is a hardware kit available at SnugglyMonkey.  The pattern is required, and SnugglyMonkey is offering a 10% discount to those who register for this class.  The coupon code is included in your confirmation email.
