Agecroft Sweetbag Class

On October 8th, a very enthusiastic group of us met to begin the project that is the Agecroft Sweetbag, which was featured on the cover of the March/April 2011 Needlearts magazine. 

Betsy had volunteered to lead us in this endeavor. We diligently got down to business learned how to do the reverse chain stitch, detached buttonhole and spiral trellis. 

At lunch some of us walked down the street to Red, Hot, and Blue and had ourselves a lovely and lively lunch!


After lunch we learned how to make Barrel Buttons, a wonderful extra that Betsy taught us, and discussed the finishing including a review of hemstitching. 

Here's to seeing many of these lovely bags finished and on display at our meetings!
