Description:
This workshop will provide instruction and finishing techniques to create a statement wardrobe accessory - a stylish cut-out handled hooked purse.
Students will complete the hooking, in whatever cut size they prefer, prior to attending this workshop. This will allow the assembly and construction to be the focus of this workshop and allow the purse to be completed in the allotted class time. During class, instruction will include: how to sew together the two sides, finish the cut-out section of the handle, and line the purse with cotton fabric – all completed by hand sewing. The finished purse is approximately 10” x 11” and is hooked on both sides.
When Katie contacts students in advance, they will either choose from the design shown or work with Katie to design your own unique purse. Kits will then be mailed to students with a choice of cut or uncut wool, according to your preference.
Color – Katie will offer students the choice of using the same or different colors, or create something unique. Once you’ve made one of these smart purses, you’ll want another, and another!
Advanced Preparation – Please note, this workshop requires students to complete work prior to the start of class. Students will select project and required hooking must be completed prior to the start of the class.
