Join the Hoppening George Sew-Along this Easter Weekend!!

Bag of the month club BOMC Carry-all Events George Handbag How To Sew Along

Saturday, April 11, 2020, join me in the Bag of the Month Club Facebook group to sew your George Carry-all or Handbag!

Well, how is this going to work you ask? I've got a plan!

First thing is first! If you are not a member of the Bag of the Month Club, then you don't have the pattern!! This is the only way to get the George Carry-all right now, so pop over to www.bagomc.com and subscribe for only $18 US and get 4 patterns right now!!!

Preparation Work

Before we start on Saturday, I'm going to have my pieces all cut, interfaced and stabilized. You are welcome to be at the same stage, or just follow along with your pattern. My goal will be to have the preparation section of the pattern done so that I'm ready to just start sewing!

I'll be using this combination - pieces from Libs Elliot's Almost Blue line, and a vibrant piece of Guicy Guice's fabric - both from Purple KATZ Quilting - then gunmetal hardware from Emmaline Bags.

Fabric selection from Purple KATZ Quilting and Hardware from Emmaline Bags

Saturday Morning

When you get up in the morning, get your crock-pot on with your favorite recipe - maybe this one, it looks so delicious! Then grab your cup of coffee and your pattern and join me online!

Live schedule

(All times are Mountain Daylight Time [MDT] which is Calgary/Edmonton or Denver) I do not expect you to keep up with me as I sew since I'll have some extra preparation done to help me properly demo each section. Plus, this is the Easter weekend, you should have fun and enjoy your sewing - no pressure the Easter bunny wants you to enjoy yourself!

As we go along, be sure to share your progress photos in the Facebook group - I can't wait to see how you do!!!

I have updated the sections with a link to the Live video for each - you must be a member of the Facebook Group - Bag of the Month Club to access these videos!

            Hi. I’m a member of bomc and have purchased this set. Will these videos remain available to view as many of us can’t watch on the day? Thanks. Stacey

          • Cheryl on

            So I guess if you’re not on Facebook or social media you are out of luck on the videos?

          • GLoria on

            I want your play list from Spotify. Great choices. Still trying to figure the time for east coast

          • Sue Hall on

            I always take forever to choose my fabric. This time I think I have it! Blue corduroy with flower cork for accents. Very colorful lining and rose gold hardware. Only problem is the zipper is white?

            I didn’t read all the instructions before attaching ALL my interfacing. Good lesson learned. :). Looking forward to learning. :)
