Stand tall, stay organized, and sew something spectacular! Join us for this exciting hands-on class where you'll create the Take A Stand bag tought by our fabulous, Penny—a stylish, structured tote that’s as functional as it is fabulous. Whether you're heading to a retreat, organizing your sewing space, or just love a good bag project, this class is for you.

• How the Take A Stand pairs perfectly with the Running With Scissors tool case (another class with Penny!)

Why You’ll Love It:
