Class Kids 8-12 Messenger Bag

Class meets June 23, 24, & 25, 2026 from 10:30 am - 1:30 pm.  (Most of the project will be completed in the first two days)

Before heading out on family vacation, students age 8-12 who have used a sewing machine before can learn to sew a Messenger Bag / Tablet Tote with one-on-one help from the Nimble Thimbles Quilt Guild. This is a great way to carry your tech for car trips.  The Nimble Thimbles are supplying the closure (button and elastic), and Marietta's is supplying the sewing machines! Confident beginner level. 

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.
