Class Patchwork Duffle

Class meets August 5, 2026 from 10 am - 5 pm. (We will take a break partway through; bring a lunch) BE SURE TO GET YOUR MATERIALS BEFORE CLASS DAY; the store doesn't open before class time.

The Patchwork Duffle pattern is a practical project for hauling your daytrip supplies in style!  Join Marietta to learn how to make this roomy bag (12x20") from pieced blocks, cheater fabric that looks like pieced blocks, or the feature fabric of your choice (see details below). Intermediate level. 

In an effort to keep classes affordable, we ask that you purchase all supplies and materials from We're in Stitches.  Before purchasing materials, check to make sure that the class minimum of 3 students has been met. Students are eligible for a 10% discount on supplies purchased for class; online customers should make a note at checkout listing name of class and which items apply to have the discount ap amplied manually.

By signing up for a class, you agree to in-class photography, which we use on our social media to promote the MQS class experience to others.
