Stylish Sewing Tote Workshop

Have you got the basics of sewing/quilting down pat and are now looking for a little challenge? Or! Are you DYING to make your first bag? Well! The Stylish Sewing tote class is certainly for you! 

During this two evening workshop, you will be introduced to various bag making techniques and products such as foam batting, handle making, wire frames, and zippers! The best part of all, you will have your VERY own Sewing Tote to take (or show off) at your next sewing retreat, class, or to use as storage in your sewing room!

This spacious square pouch can hold and carry all your little sewing essentials and notions. The wire frame gives the bag a roomy, square shape, and it forms a wide opening, making it easy to pack and find everything hands-free. The little handles make this caddy the perfect “grab-and-go” sewing accessory. And you can even customize the pocket dividers to fit your tools perfectly.
