Get organized and sew something truly useful in this fun and productive three‑day workshop. Pack It In 2.0 is a set of multi‑sized zippered cases designed by ByAnnie to help you streamline packing, sort your essentials, and keep everything easy to find. Lightweight quilted panels and soft mesh windows give each bag structure, breathability, and clear visibility of what’s inside — no more digging through your suitcase to find that one thing you need.
Under Sonia’s warm and encouraging guidance, you’ll create three fully finished bags from start to finish, building skills and confidence with each one. Whether you’re new to bag‑making or simply love a great practical project, this workshop is a perfect fit.
What We’ll Cover
Over three days, you’ll construct all three sizes of the Pack It In 2.0 cases — each one an opportunity to refine your technique and learn the methods that make ByAnnie bags sturdy, polished, and long‑lasting. You’ll work with quilted fabric, mesh, zippers, and bindings while learning how to keep everything neat, aligned, and professional.
