The instructors will take you through the process of machine-sewing your very own tool roll. You will cut fabrics from a provided pattern, make a tool roll with a zippered pocket, install a zipper, make a lined zipper pocket, sew thick/stiff fabric, install a grommet or two, learn how to customize the pattern for future tool rolls.

This class is for advanced beginners or intermediates. You must be able to confidently thread a machine, wind a bobbin, adjust stitch lengths, sew straight, change sewing feet and back tack.

All supplies will be provided. The Shoreline Tool Library will provide sewing machines. You are welcome to bring your own sewing machine, but please note that the instructors will not be able to take time during the class to help you with any issues you may have with your own sewing machine.
