Bowl Me Over 2.0

The Bowl Me Over 2.0 bag combines style and functionality with a classic bowler silhouette, ample pockets, and sturdy construction ideal for daily use or travel. Designed for experienced makers, assembling the bag requires a powerful machine to handle bulky seams. Preparation includes cutting and labeling materials, with optional features like mesh pockets or fold-over elastic. The two-day class will guide participants through step-by-step assembly, focusing on techniques to ensure professional finishes. 

The bag's sturdy construction ensures durability, making it ideal for daily use or travel. Stylish and functional, it accommodates essentials with ease while maintaining a sleek, modern profile. The attention to detail elevates its overall appeal, providing a practical yet fashionable accessory for any occasion. 

This bag is best for experienced makers. Due to bulky seams, you need a powerful machine to manage the thickness during assembly. A small travel machine may not be suitable. 

To ensure the best results, it’s recommended to prepare all materials and supplies ahead of time, including any additional features you might choose to incorporate such as mesh or fold-over elastic. Follow the quilting pattern to cut, quilt and label everything before class. Wait to cut the bias binding since we might need only a small piece. I recommend using fold over elastic for inside seams; if interested, buy an extra roll. Consider using mesh for inside gathered pockets instead of fabric. Do not cut the coordinating fabric for the bag handles and straps if you are using webbing 

During class, we’ll focus on assembling the bag step by step, refining important techniques like managing layers and achieving neat, professional finishes. Everyone should be able to complete their bag in the time I’ve scheduled for this class if you come prepared.
