Shopping Bag Recipez
Shopping Bag Recipez Teaching Notes
*The focus on these classes may be the block or the shopping bag.
- If the block is the focus then spend time on demonstrating its intricacies
before students make their first block. In this case the shopping
bag simply becomes a vehicle for making a quick achievable project.
- If the shopping bag is the focus then it may be advisable for the
students to come with their premade blocks. Time can then be spent
in class making well finished shopping bags.
*Encourage experimentation. We have included ‘Other Ingredients’
and ‘Changing Flavours’ to encourage both student and
teacher input.
*Try making samples with different blocks. You may have a new technique
you want to try out or promote. We’d be happy for Shopping Bag
Recipez to be used as a vehicle for your ideas.......machine embroidery,
fabric painting or dyeing, or even making a ‘whole block’
bag where the fabric is made entirely from blocks pieced together?
*Shopping Bag Recipez is a great way to get new customers hooked on
stitching.
The projects are can be made in day or skills can be built up in a
series of classes. Why not make it a beginners course and teach them
the skills of rotary cutting, using their machines and machine quilting?
Class Ideas
ONE WEEK CLASS
1. Have blocks made before class so that the class is dedicated
to bag making.
2. Hold the class for block making as a morning class, in the afternoon
the shopping bag can be made.
TWO WEEK CLASS
1. Hold the class for block making as a first class, in the second
week the shopping bag can be made.
THREE WEEK CLASS
1. Bakery, Farmers Market, & Supermarket. The blocks can
be made before class or the block can be demonstrated (and one made
by the students), then the shopping bag can be worked through, as
a class, step-by-step.
2. Orangez & Lemonz block, Salad Sandwich (from Napkin Recipez),
& Supermarket.
3. Daisiez, Sweetie pie (from Cushion Recipez), & Bakery. |
