 Took a break from packing and donating things to Goodwill (yes, I'm moving next week!) and rewarded myself with a class on sewing up a bag using waxed canvas. I was obviously distracted because I had to use my seam ripper TWiCE! (you know that broke one of my rules but it had to be done.)
Andrea is a wonderful teacher. She explained everything, gave us numerous tips, and in the end, everyone made a wonderful bag. The instruction for this bag are included in her newest magazine — By Hand Serial #8. You can buy it here. I am one of the artists featured in this magazine so I hope you will support her and buy a copy! Best part of the class was meeting and sitting next to Ali DeJohn, the founder of Makerie. We became friends as we were the most challenged students in the classroom but helped each other out and had fun, regardless of our mistakes. We both are involved in creative retreats, knowing that it can be life-changing. And it was fun to be on the other side -- being students instead of organizing and teaching. Ali and I will be creating together one of these days, as soon as I get this move under my belt. Can't wait!
