Retreat Bag Class

July 22nd 9 am to 12 pm

At Roy R Estle Memorial Library

Class description:

In this class you will make a large Retreat Bag designed by Emmaline Bags. It is a large zippered pouch with a wide open mouth.

The Retreat Bag is a simple zippered pouch with a wide base and a wide structured opening. There is a casing in the top where you insert two wire frames (one on each side), which helps it stay open when open, and helps turn the corners down when closed. It has two optional slip pockets inside and a long zipper that helps it open wide.
