Ditty Bags Class Supply List - By Annie
Ditty Bags Class Description Back in the days when America was a seafaring nation, apprentice sailors made their own ditty bag as part of their apprenticeship. In the course of making the bag, these apprentices learned all the sewing skills they would need as a sailor: how to sew flat-felled seams, installing grommets, and more. And, they had a useful bag to carry all their tools and personal supplies when they went to sea. As an apprentice purse-maker, you will learn all the skills needed to make bags and purses as you make your own Ditty Bag:
Continue to practice quilting fabric with Soft and Stable.
Learn to make and attach borders and handles.
Learn to attach a single-slide zipper.
Learn tips for sewing along curved edges.

Ditty Bags are perfect for any gender and any age. The pattern includes three graduated sizes so that you can carry just about anything and everything.
