Class, Embroidery Fun: In-the Hoop Zippered Pouch

Date: Thursday, January 22

Time: 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Join Kelley for this exciting, fast-paced class and learn the magic of IN-THE-HOOP construction! You will create a fully lined, zippered pouch using the popular IN-THE-HOOP MAKEUP BAG pattern from Creative Kiwi.

This technique is a fantastic way to utilize your embroidery machine for more than just decorative stitching—you will construct the entire pouch, including the zipper insertion and lining, right inside your embroidery hoop.

The finished pouch is perfect for cosmetics, notions, or organizing travel essentials. The pattern allows for personalization, so you can make your pouch truly unique! Choose to personalize your design with either INITIALS or a beautiful DRAGONFLY MOTIF.

This is a great class for machine embroiderers of all levels looking to master a new, satisfying construction method.

Note: This is a three-hour class. Students must bring an embroidery machine that can accommodate at least a 5" x 7" hoop.

Class Requirements

• An embroidery machine in good working order.
• Order and download the pattern from Creative Kiwi
• Fabric as required from the pattern.  We will be happy to assist you at the store to pick your fabrics. 
• Machine embroidery threads, rotary cutting tools, pins, and other sewing supplies.  Hoop at least 5" x 7", larger hoops make larger pouches.  Check the pattern for specifics. 

Please refrain from wearing perfume on the day of class.
