Our May 2011 workshop will be taught by Penny. She will be teaching how to make a purse/tote bag called "Zip and Go". You can order a pattern online from Random Threadz (www.randomthreadz.com) or e-mail questions to (randomthreadz@yahoo.com). Barbie will have kits available with the materials needed for sale or you can bring your own. The workshop will be held May 14 from 10am to 5pm in the fellowship hall at Koza Baptist Church. A potluck lunch will be held at noon. Bring a dish to share.
