Telene’s Easy Quilted Bag is just that…Easy! It’s also fun to make as students will be playing with threads and bits. Students are going to upcycle a pair of old jeans, layer it up with threads and lace and organza, free motion quilt the piece and then put it all together into a one-of-a-kind handbag. It’s a pattern-less bag that can be made in ANY size…Easy! This workshop is one and a half days.
