Bitsy Box & Beyond

Take your sewing skills further in this full-day creative workshop! In Bitsy Box and Beyond, students will start with the beloved Bitsy Box and then expand those same core techniques into 3 or more additional projects – each one using similar supplies but resulting in completely different finished makes. This class is all about versatility and creativity. You’ll learn how small changes in construction can lead to big variations in design, giving you the confidence to adapt and experiment with your own future projects. By the end of the day, you’ll have a collection of finished projects and a whole new understanding of how flexible simple bag-making techniques can be.

Her sewing journey began with garment making, which she focused on vthrough her mid-twenties before discovering quilting and becoming instantly hooked.
