Such a fun workshop yesterday with Judy Brennan making jumbo sized project bags! Judy uses this size to transport rulers to classes and retreats! BUT we also learned from our youngest participant that they’re great to wear over your head for an astronaut helmet! 😂 And everyone went home with a FINISHED bag!
