Makeup Case “In the Hoop Projects!” By Anita Goodesign Wednesday, January 8 10:30am-1:30pm Class fee: $10 Taught by: Annette Houston This embroidery project is “IN THE HOOP”. What more can you say than that? Create a makeup case without sewing a stitch by hand. The whole project fits in your 5” x 7” hoop. It also works great as a purse on its own! The flap is quilted and flaunts perky flower petals. The bag features a back pocket, a zippered compartment, and an inside pocket. As always, the project is done completely in the hoop. We can guarantee that you will be sure to attract plenty of compliments—but watch out for the folks who ask you to make them one, too!
