The City-Night Bag with Heidi Loftus
Duration: 4 Hrs
Session: 1
Create a stylish, functional evening pouch in this beginner‑friendly sewing class! Using soft, luxurious velour fabric—available in a range of rich, elegant colors—you’ll sew a fully lined pouch that’s perfect for evenings out, special occasions, or thoughtful handmade gifts.
This project is designed to build confidence while giving you a boutique‑quality finished piece. Throughout the class, you’ll learn essential sewing techniques, including:
-
Working with velour and other specialty fabrics
-
Applying interfacing for structure and durability
-
Constructing a clean, fully lined interior
-
Adding an interior pocket for extra organization
You’ll leave with a beautifully finished pouch that looks professionally made, plus new skills you can use for future bag‑making and accessory projects. It’s a fun, relaxed class that delivers both a great learning experience and a project you’ll be proud to show off.
Beginner to Advanced Beginner. No prior experience with velour or bag‑making required. Students should be comfortable operating a sewing machine or have taken Machine Basic Sewing 101.
