Clair's ByAnnie Bag RETREAT!



Save the date:  November 21-24, 2024

Stay with us at the Cardinal Cottage in Broussard, minutes away from A&A Sewing Center! Enjoy 'round the clock sewing or sneak away for a nap-- this retreat house sleeps 13! I plan to max this retreat at 10 so that we have plenty of space to make plenty of bags. As usual, retreaters get 20% off fabrics, patterns and notions during your stay.

Meals will be provided! Details pending, but here's the idea:

  • continental breakfast (coffee, yogurt, pastries, toast/bagels, juice, fruit, etc)
  • lunch (catered sandwich trays with sides, pizza, etc)
  • dinner (catering from places like Tim's Kitchen, Rouse's, Walk-Ons, etc)
  • and of course, sewing snacks throughout the weekend ;)
    *exact menu will be posted asap*

Make any bag you choose! I love the ByAnnie patterns for their thorough instructions, video tutorials, and clean finishes. In the weeks leading up to our retreat, I will be working on my trunk show to inspire you! 

Here are things you will probably want to bring:
  • sewing machine and accessories
  • fabrics/hardware/interfacings/patterns/zippers for your bag(s)
  • rulers & rotary cutter
  • scissors
  • sz 14 needles
  • coordinating threads
  • marking utensils like chalk or Frixion pens
*I'll send a more thorough packing checklist the week before it starts!*
