Make a Waxed Canvas Tool Roll 1F26
Age Group:
Adults
Create a custom waxed canvas tool roll with a zipper pocket, designed around your own tools and workflow. Students will learn how to measure and design pocket layouts for specific tools and construct a sturdy roll-up organizer using a sewing machine and simple sewn assembly techniques. Ideal for artists, woodworkers, and makers looking for a practical handmade storage solution built to last.
'Advanced Beginner' sewing machine experience, including familiarity with zippers and topstitching, recommended but not required.
Though not mandatory, students should also bring the tools they would like to design their tool roll around.
Students pay a $45 materials fee to the instructor during the first class (Venmo or cash accepted).
