Perfect for pencils, sewing & craft supplies, trinkets, or other small treasures, these zippered pouches are fun to make and handy to have around. The boxy shape holds more than you'd think, the zipper keeps everything secure, and the basket handles make for easy handling and hanging (they also use up leftover zipper bits!).

This novice class starts from the basics -- preparing, measuring, and rotary cutting fabric, perfecting the elusive 1/4" seam, and pressing. It will then lead you through the process of making a sampler quilt that can be as funky or traditional as you like. You'll make a variety of traditional pieced blocks, along with some applique, and they'll all be assembled into a quilt top that you'll be proud to display as your first ever quilt. But not your last!

Pink Sand Beach is one of our favourite bag pattern companies, and the Hanalei Bag is a perfect example of why. It's a nice, ladylike size, but it holds a lot -- there are two good-sized pockets on the outside (one zipped for security) and six interior pockets -- and the instructions are crystal-clear. If you have a focus fabric that you want to show off, here's your chance!
