I love this class and making the triangle bag. I have made it many times for quick yet impressive looking gifts. Sanae's instructions are clear, including the tricky fold and pin sections.

Another great class from Sanae! The triangle bag is unique but easy to sew, and it's a great stash-buster.

I very much enjoyed doing this class and sewing the medium size bag. It only took a few hours to hand sew (my choice). The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I already have plans to do another do a large size bag and probably some without handles for wrapping presents.
