Snapshot Foldover Purse





Join us to make a
 versatile foldover bag in your choice of two sizes.  The bags have zippered tops that fold over and close with magnetic snaps.  Need more room? Just open the flap and use the bag with the flap up!

Because there is no quilting or bindings, these bags are easy to make!

A zippered welt pocket on the exterior back is perfect for quick access to a phone, keys, or other small items. Inside is a gathered fabric slip pocket which is divided into three sections to separate and organize all your essentials.

Carry the bags over the shoulder, crossbody, or around the waist using the adjustable, detachable strap. Or detach the strap and carry as a clutch.

To adequately prepare for classes and events, we ask that you please register at least 2 weeks prior to the start date.  Your space in class will not be held withhout payment.  Each class has a minimum, and maximum, number of students and may fill, or be cancelled, prior to your payment.

If a minimum number of students is not met, you will be notified, and your class fees refunded, at least 1 week prior to the class start date.  If you need to cancel cancel, please call the store at least 1 week prior to class for a full refund. No refunds of class or kit fees will be issued for cancellations under 1 week before the class start date. No shows will forfeit class and kit fees.


Upon registration, please review the list of supplies needed for the class on the class listing. All supplies should be purchased prior to class. Classes typically do not include time to purchase supplies. Unless otherwise noted, all supplies are available at Sew What! Inc.  Students will receive a 10% discount on all supplies listed.

We are diligent about enforcing copyright laws; if a book, pattern or embroidery design is required for a class, each student must purchase their own copy. There are no exceptions.

Students should bring their sewing machine with all of the appropriate parts (including the instruction manual, foot control and power cord). Students must be familiar with the basic operation (i.e. winding a bobbin and threading the machine) of their machine for creative classes, and the machine must be in good working condition. Alternatively, a student may pre-register to rent a sewing machine (when avail;able) for creative classes at a rental rate of $20 per class session.  Students who experiences great difficulty with their sewing machine during class may need to rent a machine.
