The instructors, Ann Detwiler and Jennie Miller, will demonstrate the steps for cutting, measuring and constructing different-sized bags that are just right for shopping. “These bags are very sturdy and colorful,” Burnett said. Instruction booklets with step-by-step directions and photos will be available for $2 each.
