June – 06/13/2026 Saturday, Exploring Bag Materials: Vinyl, Cork, Canvas and Beyond
Instructor: Irene Sasaki, 9am to 3pm at Toho No Hikari, 3510 Nuuanu Pali Dr, Honolulu 96817. Cost $30. In this hands-on introductory class, students will explore a wide range of bag-making materials beyond traditional quilting cotton. Irene will bring her personal stash so you can see, touch, and test-sew samples of vinyl, faux leather, clear vinyl, cork, neoprene, waxed canvas, canvas, waterproof and water-resistant canvas, bonded poly nylon, laminated cotton, and ripstop. Test-sewing is the best way to learn how different materials behave—and to discover what your own sewing machine can comfortably handle. The class will also cover essential bag-making components, including hardware and zippers, interfacing and stabilizers, adhesive binding tape, topstitching threads suitable for domestic machines, and helpful tools. Irene
will share insider tips and techniques to make your bag projects more successful and enjoyable. A resource list of recommended suppliers and pattern designers will be provided.
What to Bring: Your sewing machine (if you want to test-sew), 110/16 and 90/14 needles, and a Teflon foot (if you have one). For information, contact Annette Ichiki
