Class: Hemingway Pouch

Class meets April 21, 2026 from 10:30 am - 3:00 pm.

Join Christine to make this practical zippered case!  The Hemingway Pouch sports a unique design with an angled zipper.  You will focus on constructing the large (9x12") version in class, but Christine will show you how you can get an extra companion bag out of the leftover scraps, too!  Confident beginners on up.

In an effort to keep classes affordable, we ask that you purchase all supplies and materials from Marietta's Quilt & Sew.  Before purchasing materials, check to make sure that the class minimum of 3 students has been met. Students are eligible for a 10% discount on supplies purchased for class; online customers should make a note at checkout listing name of class and which items apply to have the discount applied manually.

By signing up for a class, you agree to in-class photography, which we use on our social media to promote the MQS class experience to others.
