Plan to Monogram Your Bag?

* Please arrive with your exterior pocket fabric monogrammed.  This will save valuable class time.  

* Your monogram should be centered on your exterior pocket fabric (9”x 22”).  Therefore, stitch your monogram first, then attach your permanent interfacing/stabilizer.

* I suggest your monogram finish no larger than (approximately) 7” x 7”.  The monogram on the sample bag is considerably larger than this.  Although it’s pretty, a large monogram will change your pocket sizes!  Therefore, I recommend a monogram no larger than 7”x 7”.   *
