Instructor:  Nancy Ruddock

Nancy will show you how to use hardware-store measuring tape to make the cutest bag in just one weekend!  This adorable tote uses a metal carpenters tape as a closure that snaps shut by itself! Once you try this new technique you can be incorporate it into many style bags, such as iPad and ereader covers, wallets, and cosmetic bags.  For class you may choose either a 10″ purse or 16″ tote. The pattern includes the direction for both items.
