Class Description

Install a zipper with your serger? Absolutely!

If you thought your serger was only for finishing seams, think again. Join us as we create the delightful Humbug Bag entirely on a serger—including zipper installation! You'll learn useful techniques, build confidence with your machine, and leave with a fun twisted tote that's perfect for gifts, travel, or everyday use.

The Humbug Bag is a unique twisted tote inspired by a traditional 19th-century English candy, from which it takes its name. These delightful bags are quick to make, practical to use, and perfect for gift-giving. Whether you're making one for a teacher, grandchild, neighbor, babysitter, or yourself, you'll love how fast this project comes together.

Along the way, you'll gain confidence using your serger for more than just finishing seams and discover techniques that can open the door to even more creative projects. If you've been looking for a fun way to expand your serging skills, this class is the perfect place to start!
