Are you tired of looking for the bag that fits all your unique needs? Or are you tired of paying top dollar to get that perfect bag? Well, this workshop is for you!
Join us at the Customized Bag Workshop!
We will show participants how to customize a basic bag pattern with special touches such as custom pockets, adjustable straps, bag hardware, embroidery, applique, and accessories.
