Holiday Season is here....DIY gifts are the thing.

It's November 8th already. The weather in NYC has been abnormally windy and chilly. I have been quite busy teaching sewing classes. DIY craftsters are everywhere! Why not make something and give it?
At 3rdward I started teaching the pant class for 102 and for 101 I am teaching the Charlie Bag. I made a few tweeks to it so maybe I should call it the Marley Bag, Snarley Bag,  Carley Bag??? It's basically a double sided bag great for quick trips to the groceries or as a purse. I have been using mine as a purse.  I will be selling these on etsy so keep an eye out. Custom orders are being accepted.
