Tuck N Roll Sew-Along

We will begin the sew along on Monday, July 20^th.  To participate, purchase your pattern at Craftsy.com or beaserbags.com.  You will also need your fabrics and notions.  We will do a step-by-step sew-along, following the pattern, via video and/or tutorial fashion with pictures, tips/hints, etc.  This is an advanced pattern, but anyone who can sew a straight stitch can follow along and complete this project with professional results.

Once  you have your pattern and supplies, follow the cutting instructions for the paper pieces, tape any paper pattern pieces together according to the directions, and cut out your fabrics and fusibles (LABEL your fabric pieces to save time while sewing).  FUSE your fusible pieces to the WRONG side of the corresponding and correct fabric pieces (refer to the pattern instructions).

Fill 4 or 5 bobbins with thread, insert a fresh needle into your machine, and thread your machine.  Have your supplies and tools neatly arranged in your sewing area, and stack your LABELED cut fabric pieces in the order that they will be sewn (refer to your pattern) from top to bottom.

Remove your zippers from the packaging, and carefully press them (see pattern for tips on how to do this).

We will NOT complete this sew along in one day.  This sew along will be done one step at a time so that beginners do not get overwhelmed.  Expected completion date for this sew along is July 31^st.  (There are 13 steps in the pattern—we will complete the sew along in 12 days--give or take a few days).  I am breaking the steps down individually so that everyone will be able complete the project in a stress-free and relaxed (and non-rushed) fashion.

Meet me back here on Monday with a cup of coffee and supplies to start sewing the Tuck N Roll Bag!  See you soon!
