Made of sailcloth, the ditty bag is a great introduction to the art of sailmaking, ropework, and the arts of a sailor. A ditty bag is the sailor’s traditional cylindrical tool bag, which you can adapt for knitting, toiletries, or whatever your heart desires! Hand-sew your own canvas bag, using a variety of stitches including the flat seam or satin stitch, the basting stitch and the round stitch. Learn to splice three-strand rope, make grommets, and sew eyelets. A material fee of $40 is payable to the instructor at the start of class.
